Customer Review

When I got my used Fiat Punto, I realized after a few weeks that the previous owners have made to create the shift knob. He suddenly find increasingly to wiggle. At first I thought that maybe you could somehow tighten it. At first I did not dare, because I was afraid to break something, when he let himself turn already 45 ° in both directions, it has so disturbed that I have yet tried. With a little bit of violence it has cracked strange and shift knob came off. The previous owner had tried to glue the gear knob.

That's why I needed replacement. I wanted something especially in stainless steel.
Here on Amazon I found it. This one even lights blue. For the price I immediately slammed shut.
When the package arrived, I was pleasantly surprised.

*********** Advantages *********
There was even an Allen key here.
The installation was easy.
I have this gear knob over a year and is still on in any mode (good battery).
Yes, you heard right! The knob has three modes.
The first press on the dial, it blinks with longer intervals.
The next time you press it will speed up.
Third press it lights dauerhauft and the fourth pressing their switches luminous mechanics again.
At night, it makes a good appearance when it shines forth blue between the fingers.
It also looks good and feels good in your hand.

Since the shift knob but does not belong to the highest price range, there are also a couple

******* ********** Drawbacks

The first thing that comes to mind is the susceptibility to temperatures.
When it gets really hot in my tin can in the summer, the heated Knauf also pretty.
Although it is was unpleasant, but not so hot that it hurts.
Since you can but easily overlooked about it.
Worse, it is in winter. The thing is so cold that when fully opened heating (have no air in Punto) the right hand stays cold until you're on target. Unfortunately, the body temperature is not enough to warm the shift knob. On the contrary, he cools his hand down on its temperature.
But that's not to be expected from a shift knob made of stainless steel so different.
What disturbs every now and then, that in a uncentred Press on the dial, it goes down, but is wrong when Gulping. In order to better describe it: Imagine you hold a plate with a pizza on it on the palm of his hand. Now just imagine that you tend your hand, so far that the pizza from sliding off the plate. In the corner by now is the plate, the dial is in the knob. So it looks forward and is not nice and flat, like in the pictures.
But even that can be corrected with a finger.
Furthermore, it happens that the finger the dial repeatedly rotates a little. After a year of shift knob has not lit properly and the light functions are not working. Since I have even noticed that I have turned the clock face every now and then by mistake, around its own axis, I have tried it to turn a little to the other side. Behold, the spring had again contact with the battery and the shift knob has again shone as before.

Thus we see that the shift knob has flaws. But there are flaws that can be fixed quickly.
Except that, by cold, dead hands, so you have to live.
