Billetworkz Weighted 500g Shift Knob - Compatible with Manual 1999-2024 VW MK4, MK5, MK6, MK7, MK8 Golf, GTI, Golf R, Jetta, GLI - Matte Black

Really strong and has a great feel

Great shifter I was worried about it getting hot in the sun and burning my hand but it is not bad at all I like the added weight and the solid feeling of the metal compared to the OEM plastic one. Only complaint is the set screws stripped out because I used the cheap free wrench because I was impatient and didn’t want to go get my t handle set.

Thought that it might be too slippery - but it isn't at all. Thought it would get crazy hot during Texas summers - it didn't. The extra weight makes shifting smoother. I like this quite a bit more than I thought that I would.

I bought this to replace the stock shift knob in my 2015 VW GTI S. It came with everything needed to swap old the old one using the stock shift boot. Installation took about 30 min, the hardest part is separating the old knob from the boot, but after that it was easy to install having it look nice and flush with the stock boot. The weight of this knob makes shifting so much easier and quicker. For the price you really can't find a better replacement knob.

Perfect match for my 2016 GTI MK7
