Shift Knobs and Boots for Volvo S80

The gear shifter is an important part of the Volvo S80 because it enables you to adjust your transmissions revolutions per minute with precision while driving. Taking care of your shift knob and boot will help you keep your car in excellent condition for its entire life span. By replacing a damaged or worn-down knob, you can restore the original beauty of your Volvos interior.

The S80s shift knob is held in place by the threaded head of the stick shift. Before removing the knob and boot, park your Volvo, turn off the engine, and engage the parking brake. Then follow these steps:

1. Turn the knob counterclockwise to unscrew it from the shifter.
2. Lift the boot leather gently out of its fixture in the gear assembly.
3. Slide the new boot over the gear stick and press it firmly into the housing.
4. Twist the new knob onto the threaded head of the gear stick until it stays firmly in place.

The knob and boot are heavily used during normal operation of the Volvo S80, so they need to be replaced on a regular basis. Replace these parts every two to three years or as they become damaged or worn-out. To check if your knob needs to be replaced, try to read the gear diagram on the face of the knob in low light. If the diagram is hard to read in these conditions, replacing it will improve the performance of your gear stick.

To maximize the life span of your knob and boot, wipe down these parts daily with a moist towel and then dry them with a clean cloth. This maintenance routine will prevent hand oils from building up on the knob and causing the material to break down prematurely. Parking your Volvo in the shade will help prevent sunlight from damaging your gear knob and boot.

When your shift knob on your luxury S80 sedan becomes worn-down or damaged, it can be more difficult to switch gears suddenly when accelerating or braking your vehicle. A faded gear diagram on the knob face can be difficult to read in low-light situations when youre parking, reversing, or performing a challenging maneuver with your Volvo vehicle. Replacing a worn-out knob will improve your gear shifting performance in these situations and help you concentrate on your driving.

Replacement knobs and boots are identical to the original parts, so replacing these components when theyre damaged will restore your gear shift assembly to factory condition. Regular maintenance and replacement of these parts will help keep your Volvo S80 sedan in excellent cosmetic condition and retain its value for its full life span.
