VW DSG gear shift knob replacement (Golf Passat Jetta)

How to replace shifter #knob on a DSG transmission in Volkswagen cars. I've got this set of replacement parts from Banggood to install in Golf MK7 (5G) instead of the standard leather finish. This #DSG option using red inserts, more aluminiom and less leather. It matches GTI interior better than the stock one.
ℹ️ #Replacement is fairly easy, as seen in this tutorial. First you need to pry the top cover from underneath. It will pop up. Then each side is held by 4 mounting points. 3 of them are easy to access, the 4th one is little bit tricky. I've used long sharp tool to pry the 4th mount. Removing second half of the shifter knob is easier as the 4th mount is now accessible.
⚠️ Mounting points on the side cover are fragile can break when disassembling the shifter. Especially if you are working in cold weather plastics tend to break more easily.
ℹ️ Installing the new part is as easy as positioning it in the right spot and pressing into place until you hear all mounting points click. You can use aluminium or leather top cover accomplish desired looks of your cars interior.

Thank you! I actually have exactly the same with the red now. Looks good in my Seat (Fr with the red details everywhere).

[@mrfixpl]

I ended up wrapping the red part with vinyl film to match my dashboard.

[@-._.-._.-]

@@mrfixpl Nice! Love it when people care about the little details.

[@anthonymillar6183]

Looks really nice 👍

[@mrfixpl]

✌️

[@iamdmc]

interesting I had no idea it was so simple don't like the red stripe personally but would definitely go for the all-leather shifter

[@mrfixpl]

You can wrap the red parts with black vinyl so it’s les flashy.

[@JuanPerez-yy5hr]

Great video thank you

I'm watching for details about the shift knob as I just got today a letter from VW about a recall regarding this part. They say this needs to be changed on my 2 month old car as the chrome may peel and if that happens I may get cut. I'm not so sure I want to take the car to the dealer for such a replacement. I suspect they may break more clips and mar some edges. And I really hope they don't order the new parts on BangGood or AliExpress.

[@IvansBikesBmws]

I just got the same letter on a recall. They looked it and did nothing. From what I hear, you gotta have a major feeling for them to do anything. They just got the car dirty and wasted my time.

Fajny filmik, pozdrawiam

[@mrfixpl]

Dzięki! 😀

[@drewski1441]

Will this work on a 2017 Jetta TSI? The shift knob looks the same without the DSG logo.

[@tomvanwijk2343]

Does this also works with polo gti 2011 dsg?

[@RockstarAutoParts]

Thank you for replying for my queries on Facebook, maybe someday you can organise a fan meet, I could come to meet you personally

[@mrfixpl]

☺️

[@RockstarAutoParts]

Hey, it would be very nice if you could install a led shift knob

[@RockstarAutoParts]

Maybe retrofit

[@joshua4859]

Hi man. If I bought this kit and just wanted to replace the leather stamped DSG insert, would it fit between the OEM side pieces?

[@kenjijmij937]

Yes it would fitt

[@kenansogut]

👏🏻👏🏻

[@mrfixpl]

👍💪

[@isramint]

this shift knob fits on seat leon also

[@mrfixpl]

I believe it is. It’s a popular design across VAG cars.

[@Attila_Gobor]

Is it really aluminum or nice looking plastic? 🤔 Was looking at the same thing, but was very sceptical about the quality.

[@mrfixpl]

I would describe it like this: not as nice as factory fitted but better than expected for ~$20. No sharp edges, I’m happy with it.

[@sim-gq9wv]

My trigger for dsg has come loose can lift it up. Any idea how to fix?

[@mrfixpl]

Never happened to me. Hard to tell what to do without looking at it...

[@yannickgils1]

Does this also work for the mk6 gti version ?

[@mrfixpl]

If the MK6 knob looks the same, it should fit as well.

[@user-jn1db2gh2m]

Is the interior silver sticker?

[@mrfixpl]

No. This is factory trim.

[@quahsoonkiatraymond708]

Where to get the tool?

[@kimirferrari]

Great video the fake chrome on my Mk 7 GTD is pealing. Not impressed with the VW quality I will give this a go!

[@mrfixpl]

Additionally I've wrapped those two red plastic inserts with vinyl so it matches my cars interior. You can check it out on my instagram.

[@jaredoldhouser3301]

That's not a shifter......it's a park, reverse, drive sector.......lmao
