Built for drivers who prefer a substantial, mechanical feel, this weighted shift knob is machined from solid stainless steel and weighs approximately 500g. The added mass can make gear engagement feel smoother and more deliberate without changing the factory shifter mechanism.
The rounded 50mm upper section fits naturally in the palm, while the brushed stainless steel finish complements classic Audi and Volkswagen interiors. A recessed M12x1.5 female thread allows direct installation on compatible threaded shifter levers.
The 26mm lower opening provides clearance around selected lift-up reverse collars. Because shifter designs vary by model and year, thread size, collar diameter and collar travel must be checked before ordering.

FAQ
Does this fit every Audi or Volkswagen manual transmission?
No. It only fits shifters with an M12x1.5 thread. Many newer Audi and VW models use a smooth or clamp-on shaft.
Is M12x1.25 compatible with M12x1.5?
No. The thread pitch is different, and the knob should never be forced onto an M12x1.25 shifter.
Does the weighted knob shorten the shift throw?
No. It does not change the shifter geometry. Its 500g mass can make gear engagement feel smoother and more deliberate.
Is this an original Audi or Volkswagen part?
No. This is an independently manufactured aftermarket product.
