Volkswagen Jetta Shift Knobs and Boots

Transform the feel and interior style of your Volkswagen Jetta with a new shift knob and boot. Choose the perfect weight for you, or select a stylized knob that sets the tone for your driving experience. You’ll discover many different options, ranging from stock alternatives to licensed accessories that feature your favorite automotive brands, fictional characters, and more.

Original-equipment-manufacturer (OEM) shift knobs are available as factory installs, vehicle options, or as replacements. They’re designed to adhere to the Volkswagen Jetta model specifications. Many manufacturers make aftermarket alternatives, including B&M, Cobb, and Hurst. Aftermarket shift knobs let you select the item’s:

• Color
• Shape
• Theme
• Weight
• Texture

All vehicle shift knobs are weighted, and many aftermarket manufacturers strive to be as close to the original Volkswagen specifications as possible. However, some drivers prefer a heavier shifter throw. Heavier parts can actually make a vehicle’s stick shift easier to move because they serve as a counterweight, and they can help dampen the mechanical feel and sound of the stock Volkswagen Jetta configuration.

Absolutely, but keep in mind that the shift knob, boot, and other parts for your vehicle with an automatic transmission are usually different from those sold for manual transmissions. If your Volkswagen shifter has buttons or any other special features, those must also be accounted for.

Particular Volkswagen Jetta shift-knob brands and models may include proprietary components. However, most shift-knob kits that you purchase for your Volkswagen Jetta will include:

• A knob
• An insert
• A cable tie
• A set screw

To access the connector, you’ll need to remove the boot, which is usually as simple as prying it off with a flat edge. To remove the connector, loosen the crimped cap. You can now completely separate the connector and boot and remove them from the assembly.

Certain details may vary from one product and vehicle to the next. However, the components involved are relatively basic, and the process should be the same fundamentally regardless of which actual accessory you choose. Here is an overview of the steps.

1. Put any set screws in place on the stick-shift adapter.
2. Attach the boot to that connector using the provided cable tie.
3. Place the connector onto the Volkswagen stick-shift shaft.
4. Tighten all set screws by hand.
5. Thread your new shift knob onto the shaft slowly and evenly.
