- In this video I will be removing the DSG shift knob, removing the old, worn out shift boot and replacing it with a custom made leather shift boot. You can find these on Ebay from this seller, cost varies but I paid $40

Very helpful video I just got a replacement boot for my wife's Tiguan. But after your video I deside to go with a cheap fake leather with red stitching. I already have a cheap leather steering wheel cover with red stitching that I have put by myself
This was tremendously helpful.
Working on an ‘09 Tiguan with the same shift knob.
I just got the full gear stick so im planning to change main , i didnt know how to do it so your video is very helpful
Someone really needs to make a video like this for the transporter t5.1 dsg
Muy bien explicado,gracias👍
Smart man! I couldn’t figure this out, thank you!
Happy to help!
Very detailed explication, thank you very much.
No screw drivers needed. Just pull the little clip up and makes adequate room to pull off the knob.
I used a cable tie to secure the boot to the head of the shifter. Came out well.
Extremely helpful thank you!
Thanks for the help. Nice job.

The part I needed x
Amazing work. Thank you for the share
Thanks for watching!
Best video out there
Fenomenal, video claro conciso y me vino fenomenal, muchas gracias.2phast tactical
For the black plastic peice you have to push down and make flush do you need it if your putting a after market shift knob on? I'm having alot of trouble getting it to pop off and think it might be easier to cut it and remove it
Can the dsg style shifter fit on a tiptronic setup like this? I was thinking about either that or a mk6 style in my mk5 JSW
About to try this myself. want a mk6 dsg knob like the one in my 2012 CC, in my 2010 Jetta!
I will be installing a MK6 shift knob soon, stay tuned for the video.
Very helpful but unfortunately that plastic circle has been broken, do you have any suggestions for it?
Mine too. How much cost you fix it?
do tiptronic and dsg gear box use the same mechanism for the shift knob? I wamt to replace it on my girlfriend's 2008 seat ibiza, the shift knob looks exactaly the same but product on ali express says "dsg" not sure if it will work por a tiptronic shift knob
I purchased a leather shift boot a few months ago and it's currently in the glove compartment. My biggest fear is not being able to finish something I start as there are a lot of easily breakable plastic pieces. Going to bite the bullet and hire someone to professionally install, I think.
That's a joke.
Would you be able to swap the shifter in the video used and put in a DSG one
Is it possible to change the knob itself ? Replace It with the newer "nicer" dsg knob
Yes you can but its not a simple swap. I will be doing a video on installing a MK6 knob soon and covering the modifications needed to fit it, stay tuned.
@@2phast do you have a link to that? I have a MK6 with this shifter and I want to upgrade it too
why is the plug tab not working for me when i push it down. Not sure why its so difficult and feels stuck :(
Instead of trimming the leather thickness at top would trimming the plastic work instead?
Maybe, but I scrapped this product and bought a thinner alcantara piece and MK6 shifter
Got it off after a bloody nose busted lip and the fucking lever going through my face
I have a mk6 golf, but I have this knob.
Are these interchangeable?
I have a video detailing the installation of a MK6 knob into a MK5. czcams.com/video/Xaeo5tz7OkM/video.html
Work like this on passat b6?
I WAS DYING Working on mine and In the end i could switch to P or D 🤦♂️
Got my car used and pretty sure it was owned by a smoker. Once i opened it up, there was a pool of brown stuff everywhere inside
Hey man, I can’t seem to get the cylinder part to go down. It goes down on one side but I can’t get both down even with two screwdrivers. Any advice?
Which part are you referring to? Are you talking about the black plastic ring that snaps over the knob?
@@2phast yeah, I managed to get it down so it sits flush but the knob won’t come off. Even with a lot of twisting and pulling it won’t slide off.
If the plastic retaining ring is popped off of the shift knob, its just a matter of pulling really hard on the shift knob to get it off. Also, I assume you popped off the silver side cover and pushed the shifter button out till it clicked into place? This releases the cross pin from the shifter shaft, procedure is shown in the video.
@@2phast Yeah everything has been done up to that point. Just being really stubborn to come off I guess.
FWIW, I had to open my sunroof and stand with a foot on each seat to get leverage to pull the knob off. Much profanity was involved.
