The Volkswagen Jetta Shift Knob is the main hand of the driver to change gears, and every pull or push of the stick is transferred as a soothing flow of force between the engine and wheels. Located just above the gear stick, the knob normally has a diagram which maps out all the gears to ensure even inexperienced drivers can look down and ensure they know their next action. Over the years Volkswagen has depended on two primary methods of making accurate shifts. Manual versions utilise the simple ergonomic handle as is, and automatic models can add switches hidden in the cap allowing the driver to use sport mode or cancel overdrive without leaving the shifter. A heavier weighted version than the original part is applied to give momentum to the motion which is expected to reduce the time required for the selector to slide into position. The materials include tough plastics, shinier metals, but all types of materials are screwed or press-fitted deep onto the gear stick so that it remains firmly fixed when in use. The surface may wear out or become rough during extensive mileage, and the wear is what causes owners to change the piece, not internal failure. All Volkswagen cabins are designed with the Shift Knob placed at an accessible position, thus enabling the driver to maintain eye contact and at the same time shift gears with ease. No matter the finish, all models of Volkswagen including the new Jetta enjoy an interface during gear changes that provides feedback and solid leverage and makes the lowly Shift Knob an absolute necessity as a touchpoint in the cabin.
