PU Leather Gear Shift Knob For Mercedes Benz A Class W168
Upgrade the interior of your Mercedes‑Benz W168 A‑Class (1997–2004) with this precision‑engineered manual transmission gear shift knob. Designed specifically for 5‑speed and 6‑speed transmissions, this replacement lever end combines a durable ABS plastic core with a soft PU leather wrap to restore secure hand positioning and long‑term durability. Factory shifters commonly crack, lose lubrication, or develop loose fits over years of use, which dulls shift feedback and accelerates cabin wear. This aftermarket unit reinstates smooth lever movement, blocks dust accumulation around the internal mechanism, and delivers a clean vintage aesthetic that complements classic Mercedes interiors. Installation requires removing the original knob and mounting this unit directly onto the factory splined shaft. Note that professional installation is strongly advised since wiring diagrams or step‑by‑step guides are not included.
Benefits & Tips
- Restore crisp shift action by replacing worn rubber or cracked vinyl with a stable leather‑finished surface.
- Measure the central bore against your existing lever to confirm the 6 mm opening aligns perfectly before removal.
- Maintain the exterior finish by gently wiping away fingerprints and road dust with a microfiber cloth.
