AMG logo on SLK55 gear knobs

aquascape · 01-23-2007

I know some people have asked about this.

I changed my gear knob for one with an AMG logo on. They are not cheap though, here is the info. You need to buy either the leather one or the wooden one and the MAg plakette at the same time (you can choose either AMG logo or AMG picture) and they come pre asembled. The expensive bit is that the 220 Euro leather gearshoft is exactly teh same as the one that comes with teh car so you only really need the 85Euro plakette but you cannot fit it to teh existing gear knob.

Here the prices and part numbers from AMG for the different items:

:
A171 267 2910 = 220 Euro / Leather gearshift
A171 267 3010 D01 = 430 Euro / wood/leather gear shift
A171 267 0234 = 85 Euro / AMG Plakette

I got mine from here

Thanks loads mate. any images?

I raised a a thread on this topic on the AMG forum to get a cheaper alternative, with loads of support from members but no reply from AMG, i guess this is the only option at the moment... Again pics.

I will try and take some pictures when i get change.

The look nice. There is a mirrored/chrome effect on the top with the ///AMG logo engraved into it and the surround is made of the soft black nappa leather

Can I get a Gear Lever/Knob with the AMG logo in the same Designo Wood that I have on my car which is Designo Tamo Anthratice.

aquascape · 01-28-2007

They do a wood finish. This is the part number

A171 267 3010 D01

I think the D01 at the end is the type of wood

**dsb** · 01-28-2007

So I was bored today and decided to dismantle my gearshift. I found you can go this far. That said, is there a way to simply change this last piece? If not, is there an AMG emblem that is roughly 26-28mm wide? Maybe that and some double stick tape would work.

**dsb** · 01-28-2007

Aquascape,

Do you have a picture of the merchandise before you installed it?

ChriSLK55 · 02-14-2007

after taking it apart is there some way to remove that plain silver top and replace it with something else or is that one piece? thats one of my biggest issues with the interior of my car ... the 350s at least get the MB logo but the 55s gets nothing ???

Bill T · 02-14-2007

I'm working on having some high quality AMG logos manufactured for the shifter.

waiting on the prototype to be finished before a production run is done..

Looking at the picture above, that was the furthest I could go. There was no way to remove the cap unless, perhaps you pull apart the stitching... something I wasn't going to attempt.

Bill, I look forward to your "fix." Any more details?

ChriSLK55 · 02-15-2007

Im really looking forward to a solution for this ugly shifter ! Count me in !!!!

cyberdrakon · 02-15-2007

yeah, i got about as far as you did...except i managed to scratch the leather a little bit

Let's hear about it bill...if you can get the metal caps that fit, i could engrave them at my shop here...

When I get the 2 prototypes I will post some photos and see if there is a demand. then I will decide if it is worth placing the minimum order quaintly

ChriSLK55 · 02-15-2007

Hey cyberdrakon, is there no way to engrave the silver metal plate while its attached to the leather shift knob? That would be an easy solution ....

*easty* · 02-15-2007

ChriSLK55 · 02-15-2007

Thats the exact one that I want !!!!! I assume it is one of the part numbers in the first thread, but please indicate which part number is the AMG picture that you have. What was the price? Thanks !

*easty* · 02-15-2007

Thats not mine sorry mate just an image from the black series SLK. I've been trying to find it for a while. even got a thread on the official AMG forum to try and get them supplying them out here. No luck even with good responce.

ChriSLK55 · 02-15-2007

I just took my knob apart as in the previous photos. Maybe someone who is more mechanically inclined wants to tackle this job; If you look in the shifter hole, you can see metal inside and there is some kind of fastening mechanism in there that holds the silver plate in place. I fiddled for about 45 mins but I was unable to figure out how to release it. Maybe someone here will have better luck .....

Excuse my ignorance, what's on the shift knob of the SLK 55 anyway? the three-pointed star?
