dd_156ar 0 Posted April 25, 2006 Hi All Just in the process of fettling my new (to me) 1.9 GTI and I have decided I need a new gear knob as the old one is a bit chipped and scuffed. Now I intend to keep the car as standard as possible so I'm not talking about any kind of 'racing' knob, just your standard one. There's currently a knob for the BE1 gearbox on ebay (mine's an '89) but it's already up to £10... and I'm a tight Northerner living darn sarf I was looking at a couple of 205s in the scrappies a few days ago and got to thinking that apart from the red gear markings on the top the actual plastic bit is the same in all models - can anyone confirm??? If that is the case then I could just swap the top piece over... Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TEKNOPUG 3 Posted April 25, 2006 Sorry, misread the post. Thet plastic cap is different on P1 & P2 models. P1 is indented whereaes P2 is smooth IIRC. Just swap the whole gear knob over. I'm sure that you don't need reminding where reverse is when you drive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richsmells 2 Posted April 25, 2006 1.6 models are indented. 1.9's are smooth. strange that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
