The Volvo S80 Shift Knob has provided drivers with immediate and accurate control over the gears, and it has made every trip smooth and safe. Located on top of the gear lever, this factory component provides a reliable hand grip that can withstand decades of palm pressure; the core of which is made of metal or polymer and coated with either supple leather for a sporty feel or ultra-light molded plastic, and it has been offered in every S80 sedan model since 1998. Reduced throw distance and, therefore, reduced turnaround between shifts ensure that the engine remains within its power range and fuel consumption is also reduced, an advantage experienced in both the early P2 models and the subsequent P3 models. Due to the design being unchanged in mounting size, the component designed to fit Volvo original requirements fits directly into any S80, with or without trim, and the built-in buttons to engage overdrive or sport mode align perfectly with the existing wiring and safety interlocks. The heavier leather model is gaining momentum in the movement, which enables the gears in the gearbox to work more quickly and the steering-wheel side of the cabin to get a smooth, vibration-free feel that the driver immediately discovers. All Volvo interiors have a defined philosophy of simplicity, and hence the Shift Knob has a sharply printed shift pattern that can be read visually to reduce the possibility of a lurching start and to shield the parts of the drivetrain from shock. The overall construction is balanced with the console, keeping the high-end appearance that distinguishes the flagship second generation from other inferior sedans. Once the original handle has worn out, swapping it with the same Shift Knob would still give the feel of the factory, save the resale value, and uphold the age-old Volvo reputation of reliability and quietly assured performance.
