Shifter Knob

The shifter knob is removed by:

1. prying of the cover holding the leather sack to the dash.
2. lift up the sack over the shifter knob.
3. Unscrew the plastic nut and push the sack back down.
4. Pull the shifter knob of the metal shaft.


I ended up destroying the factory knob since I needed the plastic insert to mount the new knob. The new knob was not Mercedes or Sprinter specific!
Some shaving/cutting and grinding and the new knob was ready to be installed.
Installation in reversed order.

P.S. Excuse the mess/dust in the van. Needs some cleaning. Just so cold here right now.

We have front floor mats for the Sprinter in stock.

We only show the '02-'06 mat (1 pc mat covers both sides) on the website but we do have the 2007 available (2 pc mat right/left).

Both are rubber backed ribbed carpet to hold dirt and water and say "Sprinter" on the sides as you step in.

Give us a call and we can ship it right out, 800-944-5510.

On another note, all Sprinter parts imported from Germany (Grille kits, hub caps, badges, etc.) will be going up in price at the first of the year. Mercedes usually passes along a price increase in January and the weak US dollar compared to the Euro as well as rising fuel costs all make this necessary. We'll still get the parts in but the price will be higher, so if you need parts order them now.

Great. thanks.
On another subject...Does anyone sell Sprinter specific floormats?


I got mine through the dealer. Even though I ordered them with the van I did not get anything out of them until I talked to parts directly. They are great there. Had everything within a week.

Another benefit of having the new knob aside from looks which of course is a matter of ones taste. The knob is so heavy that now it seems shifting is done with less effort since now it is top heavy. I probably tripled or quadrupled the weight compared to the factory molded knob. :bounce::bounce:

On another note, all Sprinter parts imported from Germany (Grille kits, hub caps, badges, etc.) will be going down in price for all importers.(Cost less)
The very strong US dollar compared to the Euro ($1.28 USD) and British Pound ($1.48 USD) as well as low fuel costs ($48.00 Crude Oil ) all make it happen.
