Car gear knobs, also known as shift knobs or gear levers, are the handles used to change gears in a manual or automatic transmission vehicle. Typically made from materials like plastic, metal, or leather, they are designed to provide a comfortable grip and precise control while shifting. Gear knobs come in various shapes, sizes, and styles, often reflecting the car’s design or the driver’s personal preferences. They may also include features like added grip, weighted components for smoother shifts, or even customization options for aesthetic appeal.
