Description

Levinson Performance Layered Hardwood 6-speed shift knob

Launch Edition Pre-Order


IMPORTANT - THIS IS A PRE-ORDER, PLEASE READ BELOW CAREFULLY.

For years, Porsche enthusiasts have admired the beautiful layered hardwood shift knob inspired by the legendary 917 racer of the 1970s and offered on the limited-production 992 Carrera T. Unfortunately, Porsche never created a comparable option for the 997 911 and 987 Cayman/Boxster models.

Until now.

The Levinson Performance Layered Hardwood Shift Knob combines the timeless appearance of Porsche’s latest heritage-inspired design with full compatibility for the 997 and 987 manual transmission.

Unlike cosmetic overlays or modified factory parts, this is an entirely new replacement shift handle featuring the correct factory-style internal camlock attachment design (no set screws!), proper forward-offset ergonomics, and a genuine hand-made layered exotic hardwood ball topped with the correct 6-speed shift pattern.

Designed specifically for:

  • Porsche 997 911 (2005-2013) manual transmission
  • Porsche 987 Boxster & Cayman (2005-2013) manual transmission

Launch Edition Pre-Order

This product requires significant upfront manufacturing investment due to the pre-purchase of the exotic hardwoods.

Rather than building inventory that may sit on the shelf, we’re offering a limited Founder’s Edition pre-order to determine demand.

Here’s how it works:

• Retail price after release: $199

• Founder’s Edition pre-order price: $129

• Estimated production time: Approximately 90 days (or less)

• Your order reserves one unit from the very first production run.

Production Threshold

Production will begin once 30 Launch Edition orders have been received.

If we reach 30 orders, manufacturing begins immediately.

If we do not reach 30 orders, the project will be canceled and every customer will receive a 100% refund.

No questions asked.

Why Pre-Order?

Levinson Performance specializes in developing products that larger manufacturers overlook.

Creating niche products like this often requires a substantial investment before the first production part exists.

Installation

Installing the Levinson Performance Shift Knob

Step 1 - Install the knob

Align the new knob with the shift lever and press it straight downward until it seats fully.

You may need to apply firm pressure.

Step 2 - Attach the shift boot

Slide the shift boot back up toward the knob.

The nylon cam-lock inside the Levinson knob duplicates the original Porsche design.

Rotate the plastic collar counter-clockwise relative to the knob until it engages the cam-lock. Continue rotating until it clicks securely into place. The boot should now be firmly attached to the knob exactly like the factory installation.  

Step 3 - Verify alignment

Check that the seam of the shift boot points straight toward the rear of the vehicle.

If the seam is rotated 90° off-center, simply unlock the cam-lock, reposition the boot, and reconnect it.

Final Check

Before driving:

  • Verify the knob is fully seated on the shift lever.
  • Confirm the shift boot is securely locked to the knob.
  • Cycle through all gears to ensure smooth operation.
