RacingLine Performance Billet Aluminium 'Manual' Gear Knob - Black - MQB / MQB Evo
Welcome to the ultimate Magnetic DSG Paddles for Golf Mk8 and some other Volkswagen MQB Evo models. Precision-engineered from billet aluminium with internal magnets.
These paddles deliver crisp, immediate, and confidence-inspiring shifts with an audible metallic 'clack' - allowing you to clearly hear your shifts activate, even when wearing a helmet on track.
Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the UK, the RacingLine paddles use advanced magnetic shift technology to transform the feel of every shift. The factory paddles can feel soft and vague; RacingLine's magnetic mechanism provides a decisive, satisfying audible click with every pull, giving instant engagement and a far more connected driving experience.


Each paddle begins life as a solid block of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, CNC-machined for total rigidity. The result is a paddle that won’t flex, bend, or wobble - just precise, positive actuation every time. Naturally, these are complete replacement paddle blades - never just stick-on covers!
Their extended shape also ensures effortless gear selection at any steering angle, especially valuable on track or spirited road drives.
The result? A beautifully engineered, tactile & audible upgrade that makes every drive more intuitive, more precise, and undeniably more satisfying.
