Purpose and function in the gear shifting system

Key advantages include:

• factory fitment for the selector mechanism in Caddy 2K with automatic transmission,
• consistent center console finish thanks to the leather gaiter,
• maintenance of lever ergonomics in accordance with Volkswagen standards,
• suitability for replacing worn parts without interfering with the system's construction.

Condition and use in vehicle service

The component is sourced from disassembly and is intended for reinstallation in a vehicle where refreshing the automatic transmission lever area is required. This type of used part allows for economical repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications, which is particularly important for components that work with a precise selector mechanism.

The knob with leather gaiter is suitable for both standard replacement of a worn component and comprehensive interior restoration, where the goal is to restore the factory appearance and comfort of operating the automatic transmission.
