DSG Gear shift knob

i was in the same boat like you guys, when enquired was told something more than 500, which is not worthy get done. I agree, GTI gear knob is much better in terms of using manual mode.

Ring up the parts department directly. I picked up a part for my Golf yesterday and asked about the Sport gear nob. Its $255 inc Gst , not sure about installation cost or how it looks.

That $255 gear stick is only for manual gearbox though...

What do you think about the standard DSG gearknob while using the geasrbox in the "manual" mode ? Isn't the GTI gearknob better to switch gears up/down ?

I agree, GTI gear knob is much better in terms of using manual mode.

Not having used the GTI DSG knob I find it hard to believe it could be much better to use than the one in the 118TSI.

There is something that is not totally obvious with the one fitted to the 118TSI in Tiptronic mode - While you can move the lever forward/aft full travel or about 0.5 cm each way to effect a gear change - it is only necessary to actually move it about 1mm each way to achieve same.

So move it either way a nats whisker and it will change. Maybe 2mm at most. Makes for quick changes with absolutely minimal movement of the lever.
