Selector Knob



Removing and installing selector knob

Note In vehicles manufactured before 21.1.1997, the selector knob is only pushed on and can be pulled off by hand (important: observe Technical Information notice 3d/96).

As from 22.1.1997, Porsche has been installing a new gear selection actuator as standard, in which the selector knob is fixed in installation position with a spring clip.

Removal





1. Lever off locking button with ATF angled pipe. The locking button must be pressed so that the pipe section can be inserted between the shift lever and the locking button. To do this, turn the ignition key to "1" position.





2. Remove the compression spring and spring clip and pull off the selector knob.

Installation
1. Assemble the selector knob with spring clip, compression spring and locking button.

Note Fit conical compression spring with the small diameter facing the guide peg.

2. Press the complete selector knob onto the shift lever until it bottoms and check function of the locking button.
