Hi guys,

Can anyone explain why I'd need to buy a gear knob made specifically for cars with lift-up reverse if I want to change my top? As in, what's the difference between these ones & standard ones?

I've recently change my gaiters on my mk2 & am wanting to complete a new look, my problem is that there's a lot less choice for sticks with lift-up reverse

After changing my gaiters, I can't understand why it would matter what top was on?


Cheers

my lift up reverse is broken and it still goes to reverse normally

The lift up reverse, is just stop you accidentally selecting reverse instead of 4 or a retarded 5th selector

But the gear knobneeds to have a Sleeve space inside for the lift part to go into

Kinda a Stick in the hole motive

i like to switch from fifth gear to reverse while doing 150-250kmh on highway, a special song is played if done right, i still havent figured out where it is commin from, but i have a suspicion the aforementioned tune is making its origin somewhere from the front

Good luck with finding the noise !!!

I know the point of the lift-reverse, I just didn't understand why the top would need to be different

Guess I'll have to keep a look out for a lift-up one...

Its because the gaitor has a collar above where your fingers go for reverse
This "collar" goes up into the gearknob itself

If you could see the underside ud understand why it has to be special
