I had a cracked gearstick handle, replaced it with a very good used one. No visible cracks at all. Next day it had cracked so badly it was worse than the original. ;)

The auto gear knob should still be available new from Citroen as the part matches the ZX! Regards, Matthew T.

Fits the Xantia and Xsara as well. But don't forget what John said about the probable 15-year shelf life.

Awaiting the stories about attempts to glue it all back together :D

Could you give some pointers on how you did the replacement, Russ?

I think it is in the section for removing the centre console. I read it while dismantling my parts car a couple of months ago.
