Racingline Billet Gear Shift Knob MQB/MQB Evo

Racingline Billet Gear Shift Knob – MQB/MQB Evo (VWR700000)

Give your interior a genuine performance lift with the Racingline Billet Gear Shift Knob. Designed specifically for MQB and MQB Evo platform vehicles, this is more than a styling upgrade – the added weight and precision machining actively improve the way your gearbox feels every time you change gear.

Each knob is machined from a single block of solid billet aluminium, hand-polished, then finished in a durable midnight black anodised coating. The result is a hard-wearing, high-quality piece that looks and feels at home in any modern VW Group cabin.

Smoother, More Satisfying Shifts

At approximately 300 grams (10.5 oz), the Racingline knob is noticeably heavier than the standard plastic item. That extra mass gives the gear lever more inertia, meaning it takes less effort from your hand to guide it into the next gear. Shifts feel weightier, more deliberate, and slot home with a satisfying mechanical precision – the kind of feel you would expect from a much more expensive performance car.

Built to Last

The anodised finish resists scratches, fingerprints, and the fading that often affects standard knobs over time. The threaded insert system is modular, making it compatible with a wide range of MQB and MQB Evo manual gearboxes.

• Machined from solid billet aluminium
• Midnight black anodised finish
