I just got a good deal on a used Nardi Steering Wheel and have a little christmas funds left over *I order my own presents*. I am looking for a nice wooden shift knob but cannot find one. If it weren't for the wrong pattern I have seen a few 356 4 speed knobs that are quite cool.

This is the one I have. It's pretty plain jane but I like it. I had a wooden one but when it was humid, my hand would slip off. This one is leather with cushioning underneath and feels comfortable to grip unlike some of these other ones which just look cool. It's functional. Hence the name "Momo Anatomic".

i also had the same one in my old 914. (Momo Short Anatomic) The ergonomic feel felt so great that i had to take it out of the 914 before it was sold. And now it's in my 89' Corolla GTS. Got it used in great condition off of ebay for $32 a few years back.

This is almost identical to the Subaru knob except the shift pattern is embossed and it has a little more taper on the top to fit in your palm
