Title: VR6 Gear lever thread
Post by: Bazza1975 on 12 September 2011, 07:18: Hi,

I'm hopefully going to get a VR6 on Tuesday but the car has the original wooden gear knob which I hate.
Can anyone tell me what size the thread is ? is it an M10 or perhaps M12 ?

Cheers

Baz :smiley:

A MK4 GTI gear knob will fit.

Post by: tshirt2k on 15 September 2011, 17:41: No, Just get a jubilee clip to secure it.
