Shift Knobs

The shift knob in your Mercedes is something you use on a regular basis. The shifter is what allows you to get between gears when you're driving. You need to be able to switch from drive to park and reverse, and the shifter is what gives you this ability. In a manual transmission vehicle, the shifter allows you to change to other gears as well. The shift knob is the part of the shifter that your hand holds onto during the process so that it can be as comfortable as possible. This component in your vehicle is something that should be easy to hold and something that will give you a secure grip. Your shift knob can start to wear out as time goes on due to the frequency of use. Depending on the material that the shift knob is made from, it might start to crack or weather as time goes on. Shift knobs should be replaced when they are no longer comfortable to hold onto. Shift knobs come in a range of styles and material types for replacements.
