Description
Rediscover driving engagement with the Forge Motorsport Big Gear Knob, inspired by the iconic dimpled design of the original VW Golf Mk1 gear knob. Precision-engineered and weight-optimized, this gear knob offers a retro-styled aesthetic with modern performance feel, transforming your shift experience with every gear change.
Commissioned by Forge USA and now proudly re-released, the Big Gear Knob features the distinctive golf ball dimple texture that not only enhances grip but adds a classic motorsport vibe to your interior. Crafted from premium 6082 billet aluminum, it is anodized to aircraft-grade standards, providing exceptional durability and a premium finish that resists wear and corrosion.
Weighing in at 350 grams (12.4 oz), this knob is engineered to provide smoother and more deliberate shifts thanks to its well-balanced mass. Whether you're navigating city streets or attacking corners on a backroad, you'll appreciate the solid feel and control this knob delivers.
Forge includes a reversible shift gate insert—on one side, a stealth anodized finish to match the knob, and on the other, a silver contrasting engraved shift pattern. The Black and Polished variants feature the Forge USA logo only, making them ideal for a wide variety of VW and Audi vehicles with no specific shift pattern requirements.
No modifications are needed for installation, and the included shift adaptor ensures a perfect OEM-style fit on most factory gear shafts. This means you can easily revert to the stock gear knob if desired, making this upgrade fully reversible.
