You may think I'm evil but I took one (from a trashed leather knob in the junkyard) and cut the leather off of it and put it on the back of my convertible in the same place the "5 speed" emblem is on my '88. I think of myself as pro-clutch.
However, I AM after a knob from an '84 with the green E next to fifth gear.
There are a few options for you- junkyard yourself a knob (they just pull off, though some are on pretty darned good) or get one from Saabsite (rubber around $40, leather $72). I've only seen emblem-separated knobs in the junkyard. My leather knob on the '92 has a spinning emblem, which is annoying. I'll probably get creative with some liquid adhesive one of these days and fix it.
Get this- the leather knob even comes with a shift pattern sticker you're supposed to put on the corner of the windshield or on the console in case you forget the pattern.
Justin, that picture is freakin' awesome. LMAO.
