    Golf mk4 gear knob & gaiter on Mk3

    Can anyone tell me if the Mk4 gear knob and gaiter will fit on a mk3.... My shifter boot and gear knob need replacing... If not, anyone got any other suggestions for a replacement, or happy to share what they have done.

    thanks
    Dan

    I have an aftermarket wolfsburg gearknob

    Then I trimmed the knob off old one and re-used the original gaiter. i folded the top bit in and under the gaiter ad its held in with a bit of elastic.

    Looks quite neat. I think a lot of the aftermarket gaiters just look weird.

    Yep it will fit but you have to cut the shaft down a inch to get it to fit!

    Where can you get a MK4 gearknob from locally other than VW direct?

    Ask Mk4 owners who've upgraded theirs

    I bought a leather gaiter from Ebay, the guy regularly sells em on there and the fit and quality is great. At only $30 for good quality leather I reckon it was a bargain.

    I really like the Momo Anatomical ones. I bought a boot from eBay too (MRGAITER) and it fits OK. I bought the handbrake boot too but that was designed for the American middle console so it's a bit short on ours.
