Volkswagen Auto Trans Shift Lever Knob - Genuine VW 5GM711113CMIT

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 VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

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

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly 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.
