Albins Performance Transmissions Active Gear Knob for Porsche 915 6-Speed Sequential Gearbox

The Albins active gear knob is a motorsport-grade control component designed specifically for use with the Albins Porsche 915 6-speed sequential gearbox. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with vehicle electronics, this active gear knob provides accurate upshift and downshift signals to the ECU, enabling advanced features such as gear-cut ignition control and automatic throttle blipping.

Fits:

• Porsche 911 1968-1973 2.2L / 2.4L / 2.7L RS LWB (F)
• Porsche 911 1974-1977 2.7L / 1976-77 3.0 Carrera
• Porsche 911 1978-1983 3.0L / SC  

By converting driver input force into a precise analogue voltage signal, the active gear knob ensures consistent, repeatable shift information—critical for high-performance and competition environments where timing and reliability matter most.

What the Albins Active Gear Knob Does

This advanced gear knob:

• Sends upshift and downshift signals directly to the vehicle ECU
  
• Enables ignition cut and throttle blip functionality
• Outputs an analogue signal proportional to applied shift load
• Improves shift accuracy and repeatability
• Enhances drivetrain protection during aggressive shifting
• Supports modern motorsport ECU strategies

It transforms the mechanical action of sequential shifting into a fully integrated electronic control input.

Technical Features & Design Benefits

• Analogue voltage output proportional to driver input force
  
• Industry-standard mounting system for compatibility and ease of installation
  
• Indexed alignment markings to correctly orient the knob with force direction
  
• Designed for sequential shift applications
• Optimised for motorsport ECU integration

These features ensure precise signal transmission and consistent performance in demanding conditions.

Why Upgrade to an Active Gear Knob

Upgrading to the Albins active gear knob delivers:

• Faster, cleaner gear changes through ECU-controlled ignition cut
  
• Smoother downshifts with automatic throttle blip support
  
• Reduced drivetrain shock and component wear
• Improved driver confidence under race conditions
• Professional-level shift control used in competitive motorsport

It is a key upgrade for anyone running a sequential gearbox who wants maximum performance and control.
