Upgrade your Subaru’s interior and shifting precision with the Billetworkz Auto Shift Knob Adapter—engineered to integrate seamlessly with your VW DSG or Audi S-Tronic.
This precision CNC-machined aluminum adapter replaces the factory shift knob button with our custom spring-loaded pull-up lockout system. Unlike other designs that require lifting or pressing on the entire knob—our fixed-position setup keeps your knob secure, eliminates rattles, and delivers a clean, confident shifting feel. Multiple anodized finishes available.
To engage reverse or drive, simply lift the lockout collar. The spring-loaded mechanism automatically resets into position, preventing accidental shifts and maintaining a sleek, factory-plus appearance.
Threaded for 12x1.25mm shift knobs (Billetworkz knobs guaranteed to fit; third-party knobs may vary based on bore size)

Precision Lockout System for a Better Shift Experience
Engineered to replace the factory button mechanism with a billet, fixed-position lockout system—eliminating the need to push down or pull up on the knob itself. Enjoy smoother, more intentional gear changes without unwanted play or rattle.
Secure, Fixed-Position Design
The spring-loaded lockout keeps your shift knob firmly in place for safer, more confident shifting. No wobble, no looseness—just a solid, consistent feel every time you move through the gears.
CNC-Machined Billet Construction
Crafted from high-quality 6061 aluminum for durability, strength, and a premium feel. Designed to let you install any Billetworkz shift knob on your automatic or CVT vehicle with a perfect, OEM-level fit.
Customers praised the adapter for its quality machining and smooth operation, with many noting it "feels amazing" and works "much better than stock." The weighted design and lockout ring configuration received positive feedback. One customer noted compatibility concerns with non-branded knobs and installation challenges with the setscrew assembly.

Out of the box, everything is nicely machined and anodized, but putting a knob on immediately shows some things that could be improved upon. Sure, I'm not using a Billetworkz knob, so that's my problem... Except a minor tweak would take care of this and make this adapter near universal. For reference, the knob used was an OE WRX knob, which I'd have expected to be the most likely of non Billetworkz knobs to work if anything did. Of course, I can't say the product is horrid due to lack of knob compatibility. But again, a minor tweak would prevent the need to be overly cautious when installing a knob. Out of the box, the setscrew was ridiculously tight, and installing a knob showed why. The whole threaded aluminum piece and the setscrew will come off in your knob if not tightened sufficiently, and they're an absolute pain to get back out.
Had the threads been made longer (more akin to the short shifters) and jam nutted for height adjustment, rather than use the big aluminum block used as a coupler nut between the body and a setscrew, shallower lockout recesses would work fine, other knobs would drop right on, and you'd actually gain a bunch of height adjustment along the way. The multi-piece mess lodged inside your knob wouldn't have a chance of happening either.
The lockout ring setup is absolutely nicer than the lift to release configuration used by most others for the DSG application, and as I said, the part is nicely made. Unfortunately, I think the design itself could use a bit of improvement to be as great as it really should be and unfortunately, none of that is really obvious until you've handled one of these in person.
Also, I didn't get the flat lock zip tie mentioned in the install instructions, which prevents a clean install without tracking down a replacement/alternative.
