Volkswagen Gear Knob
Choosing a Volkswagen gear knob
Choose a Volkswagen gear knob by matching the model generation, gearbox and original shifter assembly. Compare the gear-pattern markings, knob attachment and gaiter base before selecting a replacement. Similar trim or a matching Volkswagen badge does not establish compatibility.
Start with the model and gearbox
Browse Volkswagen Golf gear knobs for model-specific guidance. The Mk7 six-speed manual listing identifies reference 5G1-711-113-A-MIS. Compare its application details with your vehicle and the original assembly; a six-speed manual knob should not be assumed to fit an automatic or DSG selector.

Check the knob, gaiter and mounting
Inspect the underside attachment and compare the gaiter’s shape, base frame and retaining points with the existing assembly. Review the photographs for the knob shape, shift pattern and trim finish. Confirm which clips, fittings or other components are supplied and whether any original parts need to be retained.
Check the model generation and build details as well as the transmission. One photographed application does not establish fitment for other Volkswagen models or gearboxes. If the reference or base layout differs, have the match confirmed before ordering.

Volkswagen gear knob FAQs
Can the six-speed manual knob fit a DSG selector?
Do not assume interchangeability. The manual shift pattern and assembly differ from an automatic or DSG selector; confirm the exact gearbox and matching listing.
What should I compare on the gaiter base?
Check its shape, frame and retaining points against the original assembly, and confirm the supplied clips and fittings on the product page.
