Another option is to pick up a used one from one of the Saab bone yards in your area or online. I got one on ebay. I sprayed it with Duplicolor fabric paint then rubbed it IN the raw areas and rubbed it OFF the good areas. Do this a couple of times with drying in between, give it a good coat of black shoe polish and your golden--just like new. It's OEM at a lot less $ than new. You will also need to replace the part of the shift handle just below the shift knob. The thing you pull up on to shift into reverse. It's shorter on the leather-booted shifters, and the boot actually gets hard-mounted to it. Bently has directions for pulling the shift apart, no big deal.
The aftermarket ones look like crap in my opinion. The leather is nice enough, but they fasten to the shift awkwardly with elastic and velcro.
