<DIV>Dave, the gray and white knob ended in 66. I think it started in 63, and
prior to that, the knobs were all ivory. All used the same thread.</DIV>

<DIV>There's actually about 5 VW approved "aftermarket" knobs (sold thru
dealers), 2 being wood, 2 being "leather wrapped", and a "T" handle. The
2 wood and vinyl versions came with either a 4 speed shift pattern, or a
Wolfsburg crest on top.
