Purpose and technical function

The presented knob with cover is designed to work with the 6-speed manual transmission in the Mercedes W176, ensuring proper grip ergonomics and a clear gear layout. The integrated cover stabilizes the gaiter around the lever, limits the ingress of contaminants into the selector mechanism, and improves the comfort of operating the gear shifting system.

The original Mercedes branding ensures that factory dimensional tolerances are maintained, which translates into a proper fit with the center console frame and eliminates the need for additional modifications during installation.

Construction, color scheme, and visual fit

The black color of the knob and cover allows for an aesthetic match to most interior configurations in the Mercedes W176, both in base and higher trim levels. The neutral, dark shade does not distract the driver while creating a cohesive, orderly look for the center console.

The element belongs to the Gear shift knobs group, which means its geometry, shape, and mounting method are adapted to the stock gear stick in this model. As a result, the proper lever height is maintained, and hand movement during gear changes remains consistent with factory ergonomics.

Performance parameters and installation benefits

The knob with cover is prepared as a complete set for the direct replacement of a worn or damaged part. Using an original solution allows you to:

• maintain the factory feel of the lever operation and repeatability of movements when shifting gears,
• minimize play resulting from poorly fitted aftermarket replacements,
• maintain visual consistency with other cockpit elements.

The used condition means that the part comes from disassembly but is still suitable for further use after proper installation. This is a sensible solution for users who want to restore the proper operation of the gear shifting system while optimizing costs compared to new parts.

Selection by numbers and technical aspects

The knob with cover has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates precise identification of compatibility with a specific vehicle equipment version and model year. When selecting, it is worth using the VIN number and service documentation to confirm compatibility with a given transmission and interior configuration.
