Title: Gear Knob
Post by: brewey on 20 December 2012, 16:14

Does anybody know if the gear knob from a 6N2 Polo will fit into the golf? I'm fed up with the horrible wooden standard one and fancy a change.

Thanks

I've looked at those and thought about it but the polo gti knob looks similar to the r-line parts.

I probably will end up with one of those I'm reality though.


Does anybody know if the polo golf gear knobs are interchangeable?

why dont you just buy the individual parts and set up a gear knob no1 else is running?  :whistle:

the one i want from ebay is about £30 all in but thats with real chrome surround, real leather and billet alu

Hmmm interesting. I hadn't though of that. I saw on votex of someone fitting a mk5 golf ball style (similar to the mk4 anni) one which was ideally what I'd want but I can't find one on the bay.

Apparently they are supposed to be cheap too.

they are and they are a pain to find, type in words like "mk4 golf gear knobs" or "gear knob" etc, should be able to find everything you need bud

I picked up a Seat sport gear knob for £18.50 posted! Certainly different to the usual Anni or R gear knobs that people opt for! :cool:
