Hello,

Looking change the stock shift knob on my manual MK7. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Only option I like so far is the BFI.

I had a Forge big knob on my MK5 and loved it so much I got one for my MK7.5.

Raceseng. It's a bit expensive but great quality. I would get something with a delrin cover vs aluminum, as it'll probably heat up under the sun unless you use a shift knob cover.

Feels really good, especially with a short shifter (I have Dieselgeek Sigma 6)

+1. I also have the Raceseng paired with the DG short shifter. They work very well together.

Be aware you'll likely need an adapter to keep the knob height the same.

All the ones I looked into sat noticeably lower than the stock height which can make for some awkwardness.

Thanks for the heads up. I actually prefer it to sit a bit lower than the stock knob.

I went through the aftermarket solutions myself, found that none of them fit my personal taste. Ended up buying an OEM Audi S3 shift knob online and it fit like a glove.
