Volkswagen Passat Shift Knob provides the driver with immediate fingertip control over all gear changes, transforming hand motion into sure acceleration or fuel-efficient coasts. Designed to connect hand with transmission directly, it is designed to withstand thousands of shifts without becoming loose, a very necessary feature for owners who value the long reliability history of the sedan. The Passat sedan and wagon lines go back through nine generations and have a common mounting system, which means that the Shift Knob works with the B3 classic all the way up to the current B9 with only a few adjustments, and it can be easily refreshed, helping the cabins look freshly manufactured. Materials applied include durable molded resin, soft leather, and even weighty metal caps to create momentum in the throw, cut fractions off the shift time, and provide a sportier feel. On some of the manual models there is an etched pattern which blocks missed gates and an overdrive switch that has been hidden so as to reduce engine revs during highway travel to increase economy and minimize wear and tear. The automatic models have thumb-ready buttons that activate the sport mode or lock higher gears, a minor feature that allows the operator to customize the behavior for safer passing actions. Since the Shift Knob transmits all decisions made by the driver directly to the gearbox, it contributes to the Passat image of a smooth ride and a long lifespan rather silently but significantly. The palm is comfortable due to ergonomic contouring and heat-resistant surfaces that keep the palm comfortable during winter mornings or blistering summer commutes, allowing maximum concentration on the road ahead. Textured leather or metal trim inside repeats the larger Volkswagen cabin design language, and it proves that even a small component can be a very stylish, safe and performance-oriented package and still be highly functional.
