So fed up of my current hear knob and want to change it.

From what I can gather the s3 doesn't have a thread, it's a D style shaft. Is this correct? If so it looks like I'm pretty limited.

Anyone got anything other than the 8p or 8v knobs fitted?

It's the 8p one. Just looks boring and is showing signs of wear.

There are usually creams available for a badly worn knob....

May add NOS to 600+bhp S3.

I think I actually got it from Venom Motorsport... It's a full short shift kit though, not just the knob:

Great bit of kit though, makes changes so slick... Also converts from push down to pull up revers taking that sloppy feel out the stick

Seems like a lot of work for a new gear knob. I've already got a short shifter fitted for both back to back and side to side.
