Post your knob
It seems there are quite a few different gears knobs on these cars. Post yours.
I'm looking for the 2.5 5 speed. 2.7 5 speed. And 3.2 6 speed and then any variations beyond that. Maybe a 550 SE.
I feel like anytime I'm near another boxster it has a different shift knob then mine.
This is on my 2000 S.

Function First shift knob, I have it raised pretty high so I just folded the eBay shifter boot over and secured it to the shaft with a zip tie on the inside.

I never did reinstall the silver trim piece after getting the leather redone.

I just finished making this last week. It was turned from a chunk of walnut that was left over from another project and topped with a shift pattern medallion (designed to fit some Volkswagen or other) sourced from e-bay. The original plan was to make this knob as a prototype and then use the lessons learned making it to turn another from a more exotic wood but this turned out so well I think I'll keep it. Obviously, the replacement shift boot has yet to arrive, I don't want to cut up the OEM knob's boot least I decide to reinstall it in the future.
cheers - dj
p.s. - You get extra points if you noticed the knob is attached to one of Ben's ball bearing short shifters!

From my 997. Factory option with short shift as well. Aluminum with small aluminum patch on brake lever. Expensive option that I'm happy the original owner got to pay for.

Is the shifter boot horseshoe trim optional, or standard equipment?
My car did not have that piece when I purchased it.

The aluminum horseshoe trim was a factory option that came with the upgraded aluminum knobs that the original poster shows. The eBay knob that is shown in Heliguy's post is a copy of the factory horseshoe. The horseshoe trim in my pic above is the factory unit that I sourced separately from my knob.

Custom-made mahogany knob with fat alum shaft. I hated the original alum face knob as it gets so hot under the sun that I got my palm burnt a few times... wood knob feels great and stays cool.
