Hi all.
Intro on issue: The shiftknob on my 73 1.7 was a bit loose. I pulled it off, came of easily. The crushsleeve also came out. I did not understand how to refit is so it was tight, so I searched on 914world. I read the trick to use a strip of paper or felt over the shifter and then push the knob over it.....and being Dutch that sounded like a cheap solution ! And then.... well...when I pushed down the knob I cracked the brittle original shiftknob in several pieces....unusable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) But I found a replacement one (it is same as original but I think it is from JP Group) It came with a brand new crushsleeve as well. The question (sorry if it is a bit stupid): HOW do I install the crushsleeve and replacement shift knob now on the shifter so it is secured and OK in place ? I thought to post the question before I mess up the new crushsleeve. Is it just drop the sleeve in the knob and then push down the knob on the shifter ? |

That's a nice knob at a good price- the NOS Porsche knob is about $185..... good observation re the set screw too.
