Universal Gear Shift Knob Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Premium Line
Universal Gear Shift Knob Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Premium Line
This is a worked specification for universal gear shift knob in a premium line programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The premium line version exists because the duty cycle on passenger cars is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually lead time that slipped twice before bulk started.

Questions buyers ask
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. CCC documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
