Shift Knobs and Boots for Oldsmobile Alero

Simple to install, shift knobs, gear boots, or gear shift bezels are useful accessories to improve the interior of your Oldsmobile Alero. Whether presented in classic black or personalized to match your Oldsmobile Aleros upholstery, custom knobs, boots, and bezels can add extra detail to your vehicles appearance. It is important to know what qualities to look for in knobs, boots, and bezels.

What is a gear shift knob?

Typically, gear knobs, also called shifters or shift knobs, are made of a rounded grip that sits at the end of the gear lever of your Oldsmobile Alero. Ergonomically tapered to your hand, the shifter makes it easy to change gears. Often featuring an embossed surface or a plastic medallion on the top, the shift knob depicts the correct position for the different gears of your car.

What if your Oldsmobile Alero has an automatic transmission?

If this is the case, the knob will be somewhat simpler than it is for a manual transmission. On an automatic Alero, the shifter is usually a simple handheld grip with a release button.

What is the purpose of a gear boot?

Usually made of black leather, vinyl, or rubber, a boot covers the gear lever below the knob and looks like a shoe gaiter or a small black tent. Boots serve a number of useful functions for your Oldsmobiles interior and engine.

  • Attractive interior look: Typically black, the boot covers up the cars lever and the moving parts below the lever in your Oldsmobile.
  • Assembly protection: The shift boot protects the gears from dirt, corrosion, liquids, food, or other items that could be accidentally dropped into your cars gear assembly and hurt the operation of your vehicle.
  • Design: Depending on the color and design of your Alero, the boot could continue the leather or plastic fabric and upholstery pattern in your car, or it could deliberately stand out as an eye-catching aesthetic choice.
What is a gear bezel?

A gear bezel for your Oldsmobile Alero is a covering for your Oldsmobiles gear assembly, particularly for an automatic. The bezel shows the different positions for each gear in your vehicles transmission. Additionally, as with a shift boot, the bezel protects the gear assembly in your car. You will need to have your cars year, make, and model to determine what kind of boot or bezel you will need.

What are the advantages of a weighted shift knob?

Viewed from the perspective of some drivers, weighted shift knobs for your Alero can make it easier to move between gears. Because of the weight from the knob, the gear lever can engage in the next gear smoothly. Some car drivers may appreciate the feel of the engine with weighted shifter knobs.
