Title: DSG Selector plate and gear knob
Post by: Karl_mac_ on July 29, 2014, 12:45:27 pm

Does anyone know if the PRND plate from the bottom of the DSG selector mechanism is available as a spare part? Mines looking tatty so want to dress it up for sale.

I've seen an R32 mechanism for £100, but I only want the brushed plate.

Also, is it possible to replace the gear knob?

Short answer...No. looked to replacing mine due to a few scratches and VW will sell you the whole selector unit roughly £300 and breakers tend to do the same. Look at getting it flocked, about £30 or wrap it in whatever film you like.

Thanks for that. Makes this look bargainous then! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251592413362

Might have a stab at hydro dripping it.

Yeah, they come up quite often for that sort of money. Then factor in what a bitch of a job it is to swap the whole lot over, unless you just change the surround. Like the hydro thing too, might take a look at that too  :happy2:
