CLEARANCE DISCOUNTED - NO RETURNS

Here's the scoop: we sent a small batch of our popular RKP6 shift knob to a laser engraver to have the 6-speed and 5-speed shift patterns applied... but they did not come out the way we wanted. Quite bluntly, the laser work is not up to our standards. It was supposed to be deeper and more like a real engraving, but instead it looks like a print on top of the knob.

So our loss is your gain, we are blowing these out at $129 with FREE SHIPPING.

When they're gone, they're gone.

Transform every shift into something you can feel.

The Levinson Performance Shift Knob retains the factory appearance, dimensions, and installation method while dramatically improving the tactile connection between you and your Porsche’s gearbox. Precision-machined from solid stainless steel, it weighs an impressive 458 grams, nearly 7 times heavier than the original 68 gram factory knob, giving every gear change a smoother, more precise, and more mechanical feel.

Unlike universal aftermarket knobs, ours installs exactly like Porsche intended. An integrated nylon core duplicates the factory cam-lock attachment for the shift boot, creating a true OEM-style installation with no adapters, set screws, or exposed hardware. The nylon insert also isolates the steel body from the shift lever, reducing vibration transfer and preventing the knob from feeling harsh in use.

Available in two premium finishes:

Black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) over polished stainless steel for a deep black chrome appearance with exceptional scratch resistance.
Natural stainless steel with a precision-machined matte finish for a timeless motorsport aesthetic.

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.

That’s it. Enjoy the substantially improved shift feel provided by the Levinson Performance stainless steel shift knob. With a mass of 458 grams, it delivers a more substantial, precise, and satisfying shift action while preserving the factory appearance and OEM-style boot attachment.
