Purpose and design

The presented gear knob is designed for Mini Cooper F55 and F56 models equipped with a six-speed manual transmission. The design, based on the original Mini blueprint, guarantees a proper fit to the gear lever, correct positioning of the gear pattern, and compatibility with the stock gaiter and center console.

The item belongs to the Gear knobs group, which means it is directly responsible for grip ergonomics, shifting precision, and the readability of the gear pattern during city and highway driving.

Finish, color, and ergonomics

The gear knob features a black finish, allowing it to harmonize with most factory Mini interior configurations. The leather surface provides a secure grip, reduces hand slippage, and improves control over the gear lever in various operating conditions.

The rotating ring around the knob facilitates precise adjustment and gives the whole assembly a characteristic, modern look. The applied grip geometry promotes comfortable gear operation, which is particularly noticeable during frequent gear changes in city traffic.

Condition, origin, and fitment

The offered gear knob is an original Mini brand component, which translates into a factory-perfect fit with the gear lever and other center console components. As a result, installation is straightforward without the need for modifications, and the interior retains its original character.

The used condition means that the product comes from dismantling but retains full functionality for manual transmission operation. This is a good solution for users who want to restore the original look and ergonomics of the factory gear knob without investing in expensive aftermarket replacements.
