Couple three post's here on the manual falling out of favor, not here. Share your threesome. My shifter knob shed a bit and VW replaced the whole shifter and boot, under warranty.
My 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, 4.0L 5 speed manual. 163k miles. Just had the steering wheel recovered, and it has a B&M short shift kit installed. Excuse the dirt on the mat.
