Puma gear knob cracking
I've seen two other Pumas were the gear knob hs started to crack and fall apart. Now my Puma is developing the first signs of it.

I know the gear knob is fused to the whole gear lever shaft plastic casing.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so what was the fix? 110 2.4TDCi

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the gearknobs are a gear short?

As advertised:-

"Developed for LT77 and R380 gear shift patterns "

Both of which are 5 speed?

***EDIT UPDATE***

Croytec do sell them apparently but not shown on their website. Taken from another thread....

Was it the colour of the stitching you didn't like or the actual stitching itself ? - As we can stitch in any colour including black - Thanks for looking and glad you are now sorted Thumbs Up

There's something disturbingly phallic about the Puma gear lever... Neutral Darren

Just the stitching itself. They look good and I'm sure they are but I just don't like that style. 110 2.4TDCi

It would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing Mr. Green
