Crazy my shift knob looks exactly like that! I was just emailing around to find a replacement…. Realize it’s gonna be some serious effort now.

For those who have a disintegrating gear knob, I found these silicone/rubber covers on a chinese website. I thought I would get one to protect mine before it starts disintegrating Laughing . Looks good, feels good. I will report once I fit it.

Sure. No connection with the seller. Just pleased on how it fits, hence my share. Took a very long time to deliver. If it will last, I do not know.

I bought the same one to put in the new knob.
Still in transit... Eduardo

I already installed the silicone cover to the knob.
Pretty good result

Too bad they don't do one for the transfer lever. Big Cry

My transfer lever went the way of the gear lever so now I have to replace them both. Maybe now is the time to splurge a bit and get one of the leather covered all alloy levers?

There’s loads of these on Amazon for around £6 free delivery.

Like a condom for your knob…….. “a committee is a group of people who individually can do nothing, but as a group decide nothing can be done.”

You can find these silicon condoms at Amazon and eBay in UK and Germany if you search for
- Silicone Car Gear Head Shift Knob Cover
- Silikon Auto Schaltknauf
Cost nearly to nothing.

It's written "Aluminium" and it looks like that to: https://www.ebay.de/itm/174067982436

They certainly are beauties and well made. 250 GBP/ 280 EURO is a decent sum.
Further I am a bit "worried" that they could be very hot in summer and then .... I put a silion hat over the gear stick Very Happy

Furthermore, IMHO it's a bit too early to worry about a gearshift lever Smile (see pics)

That´s right. They can get hot and also maybe its weight can induce some vibrations and thinks like that.

Anyway, how come the original is so bad quality! I bet a Lada gearstick is of better quality. Puma 110" SW
