Disappointing Shift Knob Experience

As a loyal Volkswagen owner, I was excited to try this shift knob. However, I was thoroughly disappointed. The weight made shifting feel clunky and awkward, especially during quick gear changes. As a result of my tests, I determined that this shift knob simply doesn't improve the driving experience.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Heavy and awkward to use.

Better than I expected

Thought it might be too slippery but it isn't at all. I thought it would be insanely hot in the Texas summer, but it wasn't. The extra weight makes shifting smoother. I like it a little bit more than I thought.

Pros
  • Includes a special VW adapter for proper installation
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Good replacement parts Switch

Great switch I was concerned it would heat up in the sun and burn my hand, but it's not bad at everything I do likes the added weight and feel of the metal's harshness compared to the OEM plastic. The only complaint is that the set screws are stripped because I used a cheap free wrench because I was impatient and didn't want to leave to install my T-handle.

Pros
  • Precision machined, powder coated and laser engraved switch pattern made in Lancaster, PA, USA
Cons
  • Available in white only
