AMG Shift knob

I was wondering if the shift knob of the C32 can fit in a C230K?

My guess is Yes. Buy one from your dealer, if it doesnt fit, return it.

Why dont you tell me what kind of shift knobs are you looking for. I can custom order one for you. Carbon fibre, nappa leather, alcantara, wood, you name it. That company can do ANYTHING!

Any idea how to remove the auto knob? Is it simply by turning anti-clockwise??

I thought it just says AMG on it. If it says "C32" on it, then I won't get it. Hehe don't want to rice my car out (like getting a Skyline or Nismo shift knob on a Sentra )

How much do these custom shift knobs go for? Where do you order them from?

It's been posted a bazillion times. If you don't know how to do a search, look to MB-BOB's instructions. Sheesh!

Yes it will fit but it won't go any faster.

The price varies from materials used. I order them from Germany.

My humble apologies...

I've only been here for a couple of weeks, yet to familiarise with the rules and regulations.

It ain't about rules/regulations, it's about common sense.

Don't apologize to Tommy;

There is a sticky on searching the forum, welcome. We sometimes forget that people come here to ask questions. There are always going to be repeats, this board just seems to get a lot of them.

could i just get the CLK 55 shift knob from the dealer? any other place besides them, i'm guessing they would be kind of expensive. Also wouldn't the fit be different b/c the CLK's have an automatic trans, and I'm looking for that shift knob for a 6 spd?

AFAIK, having a manny as opposed to a girly slushbox doesn't change how they fit, since MB-BOB's directions that he posted are the same as mine that I posted (hint about the search, Rick ).

So, you should be able to use any recent MB's shift knob (feel free to point out exceptions if you know 'em). However, IMHO, a better alternative is to get one aftermarket, either Brabus or Renntech if you wanna use the original fitment, or something like a Momo or Sparco, which will fit with a little MacGuyvering of where the shiftknob meets the leather boot. And the other options will most probably be better quality and the same (RT or Bra) or much cheaper (others).
