The 917 Tribute Shift Knob has earned a legendary status within the air-cooled Porsche community. Drawing inspiration from the iconic wooden shift knobs of the Porsche Carrera GT and the historic Porsche 917 racecars, this shifter blends timeless elegance with racing heritage, making it an ideal upgrade for any Porsche enthusiast. It brings a piece of motorsport history directly to your F-Model or G-Model Porsche, enhancing both style and driving experience.

Specifically designed for F and G Models, the 917 Tribute Shift Knob comes with mounting hardware compatible with the OEM shifters of early cars up to 1989. It also works seamlessly with most aftermarket short shifters, including the WEVO Classic Shifter, JWest RennShift, and NUMERIC RACING Shifter. An M8 screw is included for secure attachment to the G50 gearbox in later G-series Porsches, ensuring versatile compatibility across multiple models.

Crafted with masterful attention to detail, the wooden knobs measure 50mm in diameter and are finished with multiple layers of hard wax oil, preserving the natural wooden feel while creating a resilient surface. The unique layering technique delivers a symmetrical and balanced appearance, giving these knobs a distinguished aesthetic that sets them apart from any other wooden shift knob on the market.

Each knob is handcrafted in Austria, reflecting unmatched dedication to quality and precision. The mounting fixture is made from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminium alloy, anodized in a deep, rich black finish for a smooth, durable touch. This combination of premium materials and expert craftsmanship ensures a shift knob that not only looks exceptional but feels perfectly balanced in the hand, honoring Porsche’s design and racing heritage.

Installation is straightforward and reliable. After removing the old shifter knob, the custom-designed 7075 aluminium adapter casing attaches securely to the shifter rod using six set screws, eliminating the need for glue or crush sleeves. This allows for a clean, professional installation and the flexibility to swap the knob whenever desired, providing both convenience and enduring performance.
