Genuine Mercedes-Benz Shift Knobs

The shift knob in your Mercedes-Benz vehicle is part of its greater shifter and transmission system, the former mounted either to the floor or on the steering column. It goes by many names, including gear knob, gear shift knob, stick shift knob, and gear stick. What it does is straightforward: it provides a grip on the shifter (one better than a bare gear lever), displays the gears you can shift to, and shows you the direction (pattern) to shift in to reach them. It works just as simply: you grab it, step on your clutch (if your transmission's manual) and pull the shifter in the corresponding direction.

There's plenty more to shift knobs than this though. For instance:

• They can be made of plastic, metal, carbon fiber, and nearly anything else imaginable
• Many are covered with other materials like no-frills vinyl or premium leather
• Special editions exist for some models beyond the standard issue, and some are designed specifically to add a touch of style to performance vehicles like SUVs
• They can vary in shape, size, and weight, with weighted shift knobs reducing shifting time and effort

All else is annotation. The best shift knob to get for a Mercedes-Benz car or SUV, however, is OEM. Universal ones might be made to fit just about any ride with the right adapter kit, but the genuine article comes custom-fit to the brand's specs. Put one on in place of yours when it gets too frayed, wears out, or you just want a change of style.
