Product Description

This gear-shifter knob features the distinctive 5-speed shift pattern designed specifically for the Mercedes-Benz W201 Evolution 2, a pinnacle of engineering and performance. Originally equipped with a Getrag five-speed manual dog-leg gearbox, this model's shift pattern is iconic among enthusiasts. The first gear is uniquely positioned to the left and down from neutral, while the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears are arranged in a traditional H pattern, enabling swift and precise gear changes. Unlike many other Mercedes-Benz models, the 5th gear in the Evolution 2 was not merely an overdrive; it was engineered for reaching the vehicle's top speed with authority.

This gear-shifter knob is a high-quality reproduction, meticulously crafted to match the original in every detail. The leather and stitching are identical to those found on the factory-original knobs, offering both authenticity and durability. The shift pattern stamp has been faithfully recreated from the original OEM stamp, ensuring that this reproduction is virtually indistinguishable from the original. Custom number of your choice.
