sa utah Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Hi guys, The gear numbers etc on the top of my gear knob seem to have faded away to the point they are almost invisible. Apart from buy a whole new knob is there anything that can be done ? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennym1984 Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 I'm reasonably certain that the bit showing the gear numbers is a VW part (mk4-5 golf era) so you could try looking for one of those on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa utah Posted October 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 wow Thanks Lenny, So does that top bit just come off on it`s own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sa utah Posted October 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 That’s unbelievably helpful. Thanks so much ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa utah Posted October 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Seems all of rhe caps i can find are the 6 speed ones ! I can`t actually understand why the numbering on mine is now almost invisible. i`d have thought the numbers are UNDER the glass/plastic and would be fine. Very weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennym1984 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Take a look through the vw/audi range of that era and I'm sure you'll find one. I'm pretty certain that the 5 spd box is an audi A6 unit so perhaps try that (paying particular attention to where reverse is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa utah Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Yes reverse is top left on all the 5 speed ones I’ve seen. will continue the hunt. You’ve been a great help. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennym1984 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hi, it's a passat b5 5 speed gear knob cap you want. Just been moving my mum's car and it is exactly the same as the one in my Cayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa utah Posted October 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Brilliant. Had zero luck finding a 5 speed thankyou! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa utah Posted December 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 Sono got one of these of eBay. I’d didn’t fit. The cap is a completely different design underneath so it just won’t fit anyone else have any idea? I can’t actually understand why the white lettering has vanished ! I just want to get a fresh one.
