Pics of aftermarket gear knobs
 
Been looking for a nice looking upgrade running WRX Blob.

Can you post pics so I can see how they look, thinking of choosing a Momo one.

Thanks

Both me and the lad had Momo knobs...never again.

On both, the leather came away and the fitting wasn't secure enough. The little Allen bolts hadn't enough metal for their threads to grip and they come loose.

Thats helpful. Cheers

Tony bought this off eBay when I changed to a 6 speed box. Lovely feel, good fit and looks the part too. Sure they did them for 5 speed. Hope this helps

Out of all the gear knobs I tried, I preferred the original! :thumb:

Also agree with Alzcar about poor fitment of most of them with the allen screws. Unless it has the same fitment (screw) as the original, I wouldn't even bother.

It is a bit like fitting metal pedals. They look nice, but feel crap to use!

M2RTXhawkeye 08 January 2013 12:31 PM

One I got screws into the existing thread like the standard item. Looks and feels better imo lol

I eventaully got so fed up with my Momo coming loose, I took it off and modded it.
I turned up a sleeve with a 12mm internal diameter, and the same external diameter as the knob inner. I then Araldited it into place and pinned through it with a brass pin.

Once in place, I drilled through it from the 3 original holes, and tapped it M6. It then got fitted using three stainless M6 Allen bolts of a suitable length.

No more problems.

Wierd,I was just looking yesterday as mine is well worn.

Found this as it is a perfect match for the Momo steering wheel in a Legacy B4.

Don't know if you have the same steering wheel.

Hi,

yes they do, they come with the 5 and 6 speed badge, just clip on whichever is relevant.

Darren, what mats are those? I've got some Scoobyparts black ones and the pile is nowhere near as good as the OEM ones which the car used to have. The pile on yours looks much better.

On topic - I really like the look of those Perrin gearknobs.

Go for a brand new original replacement, looks so much better than chavvy ones .
I got mine off ebay as my old one was worn

Tony ask Scott if he's still got one mate, was going to get it but took the standard hawk one instead
