Hey all, this is the For Sale thread for my current run of shifter knobs.

I am making them for Rennshift shifters and stock 901 or 915 shifters.

The cost is $70 per shifter knob, payable via paypal. The cost includes shipping in the CONUS and paypal fees. If you live outside the US mainland, contact me and we will figure out the cost to ship.

Stock knobs will require a Porsche crush ring. You can probably reuse your current one, but if not, you can source them from Pelican or GPR.

For install, tap GENTLY with a wood or leather mallet. remember, these are wood balls. Smack them with a metal hammer and you are going to leave a mark.


You know you want one.

Yes sir. I definitely want one for my Rennshift for my '71 914-6 restoration build. Just tell me when to PayPal the money or I can mail you a check to save the PP fees. Keep the knob until the check clears -no problem.
Thanks for making these; they look beautiful. Of course I will want a matching pen too when you get ready for that.

Please put me down for a stock knob

I'll take a stock one.

They look great! Let me know when to PayPal $$.

Sweet! Stock one please!

Zach,
I'll take a stock one with CA finish. My Rennshift is so old 2004, it takes a stock shift knob. Nice work.

This knob is a work of art and I will enjoy running through the gears in it (in about 2 years) when I finally get to drive my car.
Thank you Zach.

Happy to wait for as long as it takes!

I have ~7 stock fitting knobs ready for the inserts. as soon as I make the inserts I will be contacting the people on the list, in the order that they are on the list.

Chris

Got my shift knob, I'm very pleased, thanks Zach.

I have about 10 more knobs in stock and ready to ship.

Zach, I want one. I've got a first gen rennshift. If you've got the one I need let me know and I'll PayPal you.

I've got what you need, Sean.

Zach

this got me interested so i tried to take my originsal nob off but couldn't figure out how to get it off....i don't see a set screw and i twisted pretty hard on it but it wouldn't budge how are the originals attached...?

Stock knobs are held on tight with a "crush ring" and not a set screw or threads.

The ring is a disposable part (many can be reused, but they were not intended for such).

To remove your existing STOCK knob, set a pair of vise-grip plyers around the shift lever, just under the knob. They should be set so they are just shy of touching the shaft when the jaws are fully closed. Tap up under the vise-grips to drive the knob off the shaft. Please bear in mind, if you have an aftermarket knob it may not be attached with a ring.

This is how you remove the knobs on 901 and 915 transmissions. I am not sure if this works for 930 transmissions, and I know it is not how they do it for the modern shifters.

My knobs attach with the standard crush ring for the 901 and 915 shift lever (or any lever with a 15mm or 5/8th inch diameter - like the Rennshift). I am experimenting on attachments with set screws, but those are not on the market as yet.

Zach

I got mine a few days ago, they are very nice Zach!! =)

Zach, do you have any more left? A friend saw mine & wants one

If you have any, save one - either I will buy it or have my friend get in touch with you

Looks Great in a 911

Yup. I have more. He can email me or contact me here.

Cool, his name is Scott & he sold me my RS - just over in Delaware

I have 3 left.

Zach

McCuen?

Zach,

I could use one of your 917-style shift knobs for my 911-based race car with a Rennshift shifter.

How do you think the CA finish will hold up versus the tung oil finish out here in Northern California in a race car? I am almost always wearing gloves when I drive the car.

Are they still $60. I didn't see an email address to send money via PayPal.

Thanks,

Scott

Yep, McKeown

I haven't met him yet but bruce abbot says hes a good guy.

Click to view attachmentZach, If you have any of these left I would like to purchase one for my 934 tribute with Hargett Shifter. The knob will need to be modified by me to accept a threaded female insert so either a knob with the crush insert or a non-drilled version would work great.

Thanks much,

JP

I can do that. Will PM you.
Zach

Zach, can you do one for a stock G50 shifter on my 87 Carrera?

Probably. I don't know what the G50 lever is like.
Is it a 17mm or 5/8th inch diameter shaft? Crush ring attachment or spin on?
Let me know and I can make it work.

Zach

About to order components for another run of knobs. Spring is coming.

Zach

I would like to buy a 917 knob for the stock 901 shifter.

Hey all. I bought wood this weekend and prices were up. Shipped out a knob today and shipping also went up.

Had to do a little soul searching. I have been running an extended group buy / site special for 914 World where I did not charge shipping for members.

I am going to keep the shipping included for World members. I like doing that here. But the price is going up on the knobs to $70 as of today.

Zach

That's fine by me Zach. Prices go up, and that's understandable. $65 still seems like a fair price. These are the most gorgeous 917 style nobs out there IMO.

for Christ sakes gas, food ,taxes, and now shift knobs...OMG.............. I cant wait to see my Kustom...

OMG

I will take one exactly like this. Email sent.
