salvatore Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hello all, Does nayone know any companys that do replacement auto gearknobs? The stock one i've got is just manky and clunky looking. I did fancy those razo joobies, but apparantly they dont make me anymore. Suggestions anyone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajinder Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Get it releathered by Gibson and Boyne Trimming. I had mine done by them in silver plus the steering wheel. They look better than new. Gibson people really do an excellent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some sort of joystick looking gearn knob, but it depends on your taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salvatore Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 Cheers guys - looks like G&B have a big following!! Personally i'd prefer something different looking, but have'nt seen anything else on offer as yet....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Talk nicely to matt (Matt from Oxford) and he might do you a walkthrough of his ace Manual-a-like auto gear stick conversion. It's the biz. You'd probably need to try it IRL to really appreciate it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Originally posted by salvatore cool! Is he on the BBS? How do i get in touch with him? Yeah he's been here since the start. You probably spoke to him at Pod when you were helping me with the race fuel. He was stood right next to you.

matt Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 In response to the email and pm's Info here I also moved the OD and Manu buttons on to the steering wheel. Straight forward enough to do . You'll need an on/off switch for the OD and a push to make switch for the Manu.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
