2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Zermatt Silver

Puma gear knob cracking

I've seen two other Pumas were the gear knob hs started to crack and fall apart. Now my Puma is developing the first signs of it.

I know the gear knob is fused to the whole gear lever shaft plastic casing.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so what was the fix? 110 2.4TDCi

Could be due to heat over there perhaps. Could be wrong though.

G'day grockle - In fact I have been falling apart and had a few health issues. Been a long time between posts.

Anyway looks like I've source a replacement. I did look at the one kmac posted but I'm not fussed on the stitcking. 110 2.4TDCi

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the gearknobs are a gear short?

As advertised:-

"•Developed for LT77 and R380 gear shift patterns "

Both of which are 5 speed?

***EDIT UPDATE***

Croytec do sell them apparently but not shown on their website. Taken from another thread....

Was it the colour of the stitching you didn't like or the actual stitching itself ? - As we can stitch in any colour including black - Thanks for looking and glad you are now sorted

There's something disturbingly phallic about the Puma gear lever...

Just the stitching itself. They look good and I'm sure they are but I just don't like that style. 110 2.4TDCi

That's fair enough, I really appreciate the feedback

It would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing
