OEM Volkswagen Phaeton Shift Knobs

The shift knob inside your Volkswagen Phaeton is a critical part of the transmission system. Whether you call it a stick, shifter, or gear shift, it's what you grasp when you're changing gears in your luxury sedan. Without it, you'd have to grab a bare metal gear stem, which is both unsafe and unwise.

If your full-sized car features an automatic transmission, you simply maneuver your shift knob from Park to Reverse or Drive and head away. With a manual transmission, though, you have more responsibility. That's because you manage the gear changes yourself, running through the gears in response to the engine's escalating -- or decreasing -- RPMs.

You have many options when it comes to the design of your shift knob, so there's no need to be restricted to the stock knob that came with your car if you'd like to change things up. They're available in sleek metallic designs, premium leather-wrapped options, simple plastic, or premium carbon fiber. Shapes and sizes abound as well, as do the designs on top of the shifter. Frankly, if you can think of it, there's likely to be a shift knob already out there to meet your wishes!

There’s one thing you should keep in mind when shopping for a new gear shift, though. You want to get the right type for your transmission. Shift knobs for an automatic transmissions tighten onto the shift rod with two small screws, while ones for manual transmissions thread onto the rod.
