Gear knob from 308

[RCZ-Performance]

Is it only going to be available in the R style red finish from you Steve? I only ask because I'd be interested but I have absolutely no trace of red apart from the latter part of my rev counter. Black I'd be interested in however.

This is on my 'todo' list.

I am looking for someone with an RCZ R in black to see if they have one in black. If there is a black insert one out there please share that information with me please.

As I recall both the Black and the Moroccan at Geneva had the same interior styling. Ie Red stitching and Red accessories

There was a black R in Leicester and that had the red insert. So you would need to use the 308 gear knob for a black one.

I think I have found the part code for the 308 black insert one but came across a statement on the advertisement of it as follows:

VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY

Compatible only on vehicles fitted with 6-speed manual gearbox.

COMPATIBILITY WITH PEUGEOT VEHICLES

Not compatible with the 3008 HYBRID and RCZ 2.00L diesel engine (DW).

That statement of not compatible with the RCZ 2.0l HDi is questionable.

:eusa-think: I dont see why it would be any different to a petrol. We all have 6 speed boxes (not sure about auto's but they would need a different knob anyway).

I agree and that is why I am not sure why that is stated on what I received.

I have an email into my Peugeot source about it and costs for the black insert unit.

I have sourced the black insert one. It comes from a 308 as previously mentioned but what is interesting is that it is more expensive than the red insert you find in the RCZ 'R'.

Any ways, now you can choose either Black or Red insert:

Interested in the black but it says it doesn't fit the HDI model :?:

If anyone has a black one at the meet in May, ill happily risk punching myself in the face to test it on my car

I'm still debating on the 308 gear knob (black insert) I've got one ready to collect at the dealer tomorrow.

Can't wait to get my R gear knob next week. I'll try the Abz method of removal

Mmmmmm not sure I thought they were all the same I was just looking to order one off Steve but noticed that it said not the diesel models.

I presume its made from an alloy? if so, even though i like the look of it, I will be staying well clear after burning the palm of my hand on a similar object on a Citroen!!!

The only reason I can think of why they say not suitable for the HDi is maybe (and I wouldn't know) that the gears are located in different positions and so could lead to incorrect gear selection? If you was to follow the schematics on the knob, Possibly maybe?

 

[Anonymous]

A different diameter on the gearstick maybe? Can't imagine why but you never know. Also quite possible that it's a simple mistake in Peugeot's documentation!

Are the part numbers from servicebox different for the standard gear knob? that would tell you if these a difference with threads or diameters ?

 

[Abzynthe]

Thats a good thought Ron, but the gears are in the same place on the 308 and RCZ. (Well my OHs are the same as mine)

Just thought, I can test my OHs knob on mine :lol:

It's difficult for us to determine the reason for this mention about the black insert (308) not fitting the HDi in the RCZ as we do not have an HDi to test and our Peugeot source is not able to shed any more light on this as well.

As previously mentioned it doesn't make sense to us, but Peugeot must have a reason for stating this on the document that has all of the information about this gear knob.

So if anyone is able to shed more light on this and can confirm or prove otherwise please let us know.
