Buick Enclave Shift Knobs

Your Buick Enclave came with a factory-installed shift knob. Also known as a shifter, stick, or gear shift, it's how you manage your transmission's gear changes.

If your SUV has an automatic transmission, it's a simple process on your part. You switch from "Park" to "Reverse" or "Drive," ease your foot off the brake pedal, press the gas pedal, and you're on your way. A manual transmission, on the other hand, requires more involvement on the driver's part. You sense when to change gears based on the engine's RPMs, use the clutch to temporarily disengage the transmission and engine, and shift up or down through the gears as needed to ease the engine strain.

Shift knobs range in style, from merely functional to ornate style statements. The most basic are plastic and may have a gear pattern etched on top. Others can be wrapped in leather or shimmering metals.

It's Easy to Install a New Shift Knob

When it's time to replace your shift knob, there are some considerations to keep in mind. First, make sure to get the right type for your SUV. Shift knobs for automatic transmissions are secured by two small screws, while manual transmission shift knobs twist onto the shift rod. You also want to choose a genuine GM shift knob, since those are the only ones that were made for your Buick Enclave.
