I asked my mechanic if he had any shift knobs that he had taken off any other boxsters or 911's. He has one off a 996 that he will sell me for $50.00. It is the newer style with the alluminum insert.

Does anyone know if a porsche shift knob and boot combo from a 996 will fit in my 97 boxster. The part # is 996 552 655 01.

I know it is a 6 speed knob....any my car is a 5 speed. Other than the shift pattern, will it fit and function properly. (assuming I dont shift for that mystery 6th gear)

Thanks for the advice. I hope this works because it could be a great deal for me.
