So I'm none the wiser really, I don't know if it should have a black or a white sleeve. Can anybody help!!

Right here we go.....

Up to 4D 307060, all ZT's were fitted with UKJ000090PMA which has a white insert....

From 307061, cars were fitted with a different gear selector, and as such the knob changed to UKJ000340PMA and then to UKJ000440PMA, the VIN change for the different knobs was 348726 and have a black insert.

.......so you should from your VIN be able to identify which lever assembly your car was fitted with in the factory.

However, if at some point the car had a selector problem, there is a good chance the assembly was changed, then there is a chance that the later assembly was used, and hence a later knob was fitted.

Hopefully this makes it clear

Thanks alot Greeners, appreciate the help clearing that up.
So providing my car hasn't had a selector problem I'm looking for a NEW (if possible) UKJ000340PMA Sports leather & chrome gear knob. But looking at Rimmer Bros web site it looks like the 340 is no longer available and they state to use the 440PMA instead.

This seems an odd situation?
My 2006 reg. cars Vin is 351484 and the sleeve is WHITE. No changes ever been made from registration. Black leather with black top and white numerals.
Regards. Peter.

There's a good chance that your car was made up with the leftover bits they could find....and yours happened to get an early selector

Bump.
Still looking for a gear knob if anyone can help

.
My gear stick does not have a sleeve over it, just a flat on the passenger side. I'm not sure if I should have a sleeve or not

So could also be looking for a plastic sleeve aswell

I have one
