Porsche Manual Trans Shift Knob - Genuine Porsche 99742407501FOT

Product Information

A manual transmission shift knob is the driver-operated handle attached to the top of the gear shift lever in a manual vehicle. It allows the driver to comfortably grip and control the gear lever when selecting gears. Beyond functionality, shift knobs also serve an aesthetic role, with designs ranging from simple factory styles to performance or custom options. A worn or damaged shift knob can reduce comfort and make gear changes less precise.

• Loose or wobbly fit, making it harder to shift accurately.
• Cracks, wear, or damage to the knob surface, reducing comfort and grip.
• Excessive movement or misalignment, if the knob or threads are stripped or worn.

About Genuine Porsche

The original parts used by Porsche to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Porsche” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Porsche, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Porsche Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Porsche are not necessarily manufactured by Porsche. No cause for concern, as Porsche designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Porsche for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Porsche parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Porsche logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
