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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBenefits \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestore crisp shift action by replacing worn rubber or cracked vinyl with a stable leather‑finished surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure the central bore against your existing lever to confirm the 6 mm opening aligns perfectly before removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintain the exterior finish by gently wiping away fingerprints and road dust with a microfiber cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Vehicle: Mercedes‑Benz W168 A‑Class (1997–2004)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransmission Type: Manual 5\/6 Speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore Construction: High‑Grade ABS Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior Finish: Premium PU Leather Wrap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Hole Diameter: 6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety Certification: CCC External Testing Standard Compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Status: Aftermarket Replacement (Not Genuine Oem)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 × PU Leather Gear Shift Knob for Manual Transmission\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWarnings \u0026amp; Reminders\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegional market variations mean trim levels and shifter geometries can differ between production years.
