Gear knob replacement...

Post by poloowner »

Hi i have a 6n i have managed to split the standard rubbery-foam gear knob. I have taken of the gear gaiter and have found how to take it off(finally!!). Wanted to know if there is a specific fitment for a new one or is it universal?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've just fitted a 6n2 GTI one on my 6n today, its so much better than the original and feels shorter and stubbier. Makes gear changing more easy and smoother, not only that it looks pimp as! Can get you a pic if you want. Generally they are universal however i'm not 100%, i've seen MOMO ones fit and I know the gaitor can be fitted as universal.
