For any future readers who are installing this. That "spring" is called a pinch clamp. They make a set of pinch clamp pliers to remove and install. It makes its way easier and secures the clamp much better. Thanks for the video.
I just got that same part from Amazon and sent it back shift knob is sharp with those grooves on the top it's worth it to buy the one from the dealer for $20 more save my fingers from getting cut plus those grooves on shift knob are annoying on long drives
I would have to cross check but I'm sure it would work, I believe the passat is equipped with a 6spd as mine is a 5spd. So you would have to make sure the knob have the 6spd layout
@@uetmk4184 lmao, thanks for this. in this -5-20 degree weather here in OK, i can NOT shift INTO R-4-5-6, 1-2-3 gears work, its like the transmission is frozen/gearshifter something
You installed the new shift knob more than an inch higher than the old one, look how tight the boot is when in neutral. How NOT to install a MK6 shift knob.
That was noted after the install as I didn't apply all of the pressure needed to make it sit flush. But I assure you the part fits as I drive it daily.

Your welcomed Mark

Great video thanks for yourtime and efforts
Thanks, man!

Its was lower the original right?
Yes it was I believe the hole on the aftermarket was a bit smaller
Is this part same for passat??

Spring?? You mean jubilee clip
Can you remove the shift boot only and put back the shift knob?
It is possible but it involes a bit more and you have to be careful with the plastic style ring that covers the knob to boot
Thank you for the tip but I already fucked the plastic ring lmao

hoping thats what it is, and it does seem like it, its very stiff, and only 50k miles.
@@ThePsycheGardens I hope 4,5,6 are not grinded to smithereens and your transmission is up to operating temperature.
Plzz tell me price Jetta gearnob same
Price in india ?
I am unsure of the currency differences but will look into it
I sell one for 50 aud
It's on Amazon 24$...ca US money is worth more so probably less
