How to Install a New Shift Knob and Shift Boot

  • In this video, I replace the OEM shift knob and shift boot on the golf with a new one. This would have been a perfect time to install an aftermarket shift knob and boot, however when I bought the car, it came with this one, so why not install it.
    If you have any questions regarding the video, you know where to throw them!! Thanks for watching :)

    I`m just binge watching the budget build videos. One note regarding the shift know, make sure you buy the correct type for your car. Diesel Golfs have a shorter and thicker shifter (8mm) and you can find it easy to mix them up.

      @@alkyneytdavid7726 this is the most unusual method ive ever seen. most shift knobs have a locking screw/bolt or simply screw down.. none of these compression clips, and an awful lot of consoles need to be removed to unscrew the boot frame from below.
