They do seem popular.  This one sold for old fast modem speed.

I bought a ( re-printed by now ) hayness manual. It does list the fs5c71a.

I think there is a mistake of the differential ratio part they mixed up the 3.90 with the 3.36 on the four and five speed ?

5 speed should be 3.90

Guys... Question. What knob comes closest to the oem 5 speed one? Im thinking that one from Japan add with the red R ? The other one looks a bit to fake

Here they are..

 

 

I made one myself on a lathe but miss the top plastic piece with the doulble H and numbers.. 

the 10 is for ten years of (resto)work Hahaha....

The plastic chrome part under it i installed that later. it has the thread M8x1,25 (i believe) in it..

THanks Mart, yes I suspected it to be all white lettering.

The guy from ebay responded to:

 

Unfortunately This knob is a replica item.
The knob is nissan genuine parts/ The shift pattern mark made by Bprojects.
