Audi Auto Trans Shift Lever Knob - Genuine Audi 8K1713139RIBR

Product Information

An automatic transmission shift lever knob is the handle located at the top of the gear selector in vehicles with automatic transmissions. It provides the driver with a grip point to shift between gears. In many cars, it also houses buttons or triggers that must be pressed to release the shifter.

• Loose or wobbly shift knob – feels unstable or detaches from the lever.
• Stuck or difficult button operation – shift-lock button fails to depress or release properly.
• Difficulty shifting gears – knob misalignment or internal wear affects smooth gear selection.

About Genuine Audi

The original parts used by Audi to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Audi” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Audi, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the Audi Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Audi are not necessarily manufactured by Audi. No cause for concern, as Audi designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Audi for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Audi parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of an Audi logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
