Saab Auto Trans Shift Lever Knob - Genuine Saab 12849545

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 Saab

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

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Saab are not necessarily manufactured by Saab. No cause for concern, as Saab designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Saab 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 Saab parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Saab 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.
