2007 6 spd manual shift knob
Does anyone know the proper way to replace the shift knob with an after market one and if a universal shift knob will fit? Thanks in advance.

A universal one that uses set screws instead of screwing into a threaded shift knob will work, yes. Depends on how well you want it integrated, though. Not rocket science, but they can be tricky.

I just went through this, as tommy said, if the universal you choose uses set screws at the base it should fit with no problem. if you want a oe knob style mount knob, choices are very limited. there are some at formymercedes. I didn't like any of them. I found a German eBay website that had an ok selection of oe knobs.

this is the one I was looking at, they said they would ship to the states for 45$. that totaled out to almost 200$. I ended up with a 30$ universal that matches the black cf wrap I did on my center console. good luck. let me know if you find anything better than I did, I'm still not set on my solution being permanent.

That's the integration problem. Some cars have the boot and knob integrated like a WV family, and on some, it's easier to get a new knob that will work with the stock boot. It can be a real PITA.
