How do you post up a new thread about a cracking knob and expect a reasonable reply Question Question

I think everyone has been quite constrained Rolling with laughter

Anyway going auto still means you have a knob, you just don't have to grab hold of it as often Whistle 110 2.4TDCi

I bought these, but they are pricy and, if you have a Slickshift fitted, will require some fettling to stop them rattling while you drive. Fit perfectly with no Slickshift though.

D-Upgrades and Lucari have alloy ones and alloy ones wrapped in leather.

Optimill has one made of alloy as well now. No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy

I'm surprised nobody has made a classic looking set for the Tdci.

Mine are cracking a bit too on the knob. It's bottom of my list of things to sort out but if/when I do replace them I'd like something more 'retro' looking to suit the classic vibe of my truck.

I quite like the Puma dashboard as a whole but the big stubby gearstick is something that always looks off to me. Looks like it's been taken out of an old Rover Metro.

Mate got a hold of John and got one he said it fits in stock position with no issues to install even if I have the short shifter installed ? You mentioned rattling ? If I get this what is the fix sir

Gear Lever Cracking
This is a common fault apparently.
I noticed mine was going the same way as I was replacing the chassis.
I had to purchase a new one at a cost of just over £200.

The other day I fitted one of these:

And also these:

So far I’m pleased with both, the collars there I have I like them, there is heritage yellow and red as well from that supplier.
I have no connection to the sellers but though others would like them too.
Some of you already have them, and or plastic rings. ____\We|Will|Win/___
