Gear knob for an Automatic

humphshumphs · 26th July 2015, 07:28

Very simple question really.....

Just got my new Tourer and it's an Auto, but the 'chrome' on the gear knob has worn off/been peeled off and I was wondering if the gear knobs on Mk.1 & Mk.2 autos were the same as I can get a leather one from a breakers for not a lot

Cheers in advance

If you want to keep it chrome I have a good condition chrome one; they are interchangeable

Hi all Rover 75 /MGZT Auto gear knobs fit. As do some of the BMWs with same box. They are a good source for cheaper wooden ones.

To remove

Select Neutral then pull sharply up to remove. Needs a bit of force to remove so be careful not to hit yourself in the face!

If using a BMW one you need to change the plastic rod that attaches to gearknob
as the Rover and BMW ones are different.
