Used gear sticks vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Only manual-gearbox versions of the Volkswagen CC have a traditional gear stick – and the CC was sold predominantly with DSG (dual-clutch automatic) transmissions in the UK, which use a selector lever rather than a conventional manual gear stick. If your CC is a DSG model, the part you are most likely looking for is the DSG gear selector or shift knob, not a manual gear stick. Confirm your gearbox type from your V5 or a VIN check before searching, and let the breaker know whether your car is manual or DSG.
The Volkswagen CC ran in a single generation from 2011 to 2016 in the UK, with a facelift arriving around 2012, so a 2012 and a 2015 car both sit within the same broad generation but either side of that facelift point. Whether a selector unit crosses that facelift boundary cleanly depends on your exact gearbox type and engine code, as mountings and surround details can change mid-production. Name your engine code and gearbox type to the breaker and ask them to check the part against your registration before buying.
Trim level – whether your CC is a GT, GT Plus, VR6 4Motion or another grade – does not determine which gear stick or selector mechanism you need; what matters is your gearbox type (DSG or manual) and your engine code. You may find cosmetic differences such as a different shift knob finish or surround material between trims, but the underlying selector mechanism follows the drivetrain, not the badge. Confirm the gearbox type and engine code with the breaker and expect to swap your original knob or gaiter over if the aesthetics differ.
For the mechanical selector assembly itself, gearbox type is the primary factor, but your engine code determines exactly which DSG or manual unit was fitted from the factory – for example, the 2.0 TDI variants used different DSG units from the 3.6 VR6 petrol, and those units can have different selector interfaces. Supplying your engine code (found on the V5 or via a VIN check) alongside your gearbox code gives the breaker the best chance of pulling the right part. Never assume one DSG selector fits all DSG-equipped CCs without verifying the gearbox generation matches.
Whether a used DSG selector unit requires coding or ECU pairing to your specific car is something you should confirm directly with the breaker and your fitting garage, as this can vary and is not something that can be stated as a blanket rule. A reputable breaker will be able to advise based on the exact part number and your car's build, and a VW specialist or VAG-trained garage can confirm whether any adaptation steps are needed after fitting. Do not assume the part will be plug-and-play without checking this first.
