    has anyone changed the shift knob on the new GTI with a manual transmission?

    has anyone changed the shift knob on the new GTI with a manual transmission?

    So the dealer let me look at the new GTI and it had a manual. I didnt like the new shift knob compared to my 2015 GTI or even the older ones. Has anyone switched out the shift knob or have pics. Thanks
