Replacing a VWT5 and VWT6 Gear Knob

This guide is for VWT5 and VWT6, it will require a gear knob of mine in the lift reverse / reverse lockout shape and the T5 T6 adaptor.
The VWT6.1 is different and email me if you require one for this model of van.
Remove the top disk with the gear pattern using a trim tool to lever it out evenly around all sides so you do not break the pegs on the underside.
Remove the screw on the inside using a T30 Torx.
The gear knob will slide off the shaft.
Once the gear knob is removed you need to slide on the supplied adaptor and tighten the 3 set screws and the countersunk bolt into the top. Also make sure the washer is used.
Now screw on the gear knob and if you need to set the rotation so the engraving is at the correct orientation you need to unscrew the gear knob and rotate the adaptor so when the gear knob fitted the engraving is at the correct orientation.
You can check reverse mechanism is functioning properly at this point as well.
All Fitted.
This knob is:
  • Skateboard - Red and Black
  • Lift reverse shape
  • Gloss finish
  • Flat Top engraving
  • 5 Speed reverse left and up
  • No Fill
  • VWT5 and VWT6 Adaptor
