shift knob

Does anyone know where I can find a shift knob similar in size, shape, and color to the original that will fit the shift lever on a 2002 VS? I've tried Porsche and VW parts, but all are too small.

Probably fairly simple to ream out the hole and/or make an adapter...

Hi,

I am using an Empi knob with the vw shift pattern and black vinyl. It has three different size openings to fit most shift columns. Works good and fits nice. Instructions say to use some miracle glue on the threads and let it set for a couple of hours. Haven't had to do that yet as it is staying tight.

I know some asked about this, but I only found this thread.

Isn't the original knob white plastic? It is listed for sale on the VS website for $7.

Those wooden knobs are so so. Here's the seller's site:

You're right that's an early VW knob that is very similar to a 356 one.

I bought the zebra wood version in that link above on Ebay. I'll post pics when it gets here!
