Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Now that's really cool! I much prefer that shift knob over the stock one on the early cars, not only for looks, but for actual feel. That round knob annoys me at times. Wish I had spare cash to pick one up currently. BC.

Thanks. I actually got the whole knob and boot from a dismantler for pretty cheap. I then just removed the knob from the 987 boot...there's just a plastic clip and ring that holds the knob to the boot, and it just unscrews and pulls out. I then had an extra boot from my 986 lying around because I had bought the aluminum horseshoe boot for another one of my shifters, and so I just put the 987 knob on that extra boot, and voila.
