Racing gear knob

[ZackyG]

​Okay I have a clio 182 and wanted to buy this gear knob. Obviously they have the lift up reverse which automatically means all the nice flashy ones are out the picture... However now the only ones I can seem to get are just the round boring ones but I want something more racing like. Does anyone have any ideas or nice ones that they have or know where to get any? In the price range of under £30 preferably. Many thanks

What does a racing gear knob look like?

Just get your one re-trimmed and a fresh new insert and voila.

 

[Harbinger]

Lowe both of them, get a PH1 gear knob with the metal insert, will last forever.

Pretty sure this is a racing gear knob http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flashing-...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43b24098fb

No seriously, get a richbrook, I love my slant top.

This is sort of what I am looking for, I just hate the boring round shape ): what's this style called? And will it work with my lift up reverse? Will the rich brook work as well with my lift up?

 

[GrahamS]

richbrook do ones specific for lift up reverse (I have one)

 

[Martin.]

Any photos of yours Grayham?

Apologies if that's not how you spell your name.

 

[GrahamS]

^^^^^ that a dildo?! Lol

Those richbrook ones look ok I guess, waste of money in my opinion though.
What do Ph1 gear knobs fetch nowadays? Rare that they come up for sale though I guess

Which race cars exactly have these ?

What's a lift up gear box ?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Don't know how I manage to race without one.

when you find the right racing gear knob you will need one of these(it will be white nylon ... without a doubt) if you cant find a lift reverse type .. best get commision an engineer and get one made to your spec

it will nicely compliment the racing steering wheel (suede covering deffo) cover that you also have to stop the suede getting dirty/flattened

It's why you crash so often tbh...

Where you have to lift up a collar to put it in reverse. Sorry if that's not what it's called

​Me, crash. Never.
