Technical details and contents
- Factory number: N-105-714-03 / N10571403.
- Nominal bolt specification: M6 × 25.
- Recessed drive with broad oval head.
- Verified role: manual selector bearing-shell cover attachment.
- Quantity supplied: one bolt.
The nominal designation describes the functional fastener specification and is not a shipping measurement. The original selector cover can use more than one bolt; the catalog assembly quantity does not change the single-item quantity supplied.
Function in the gearshift mechanism
This bolt secures the assigned bearing-shell cover at the gearshift lever. The cover and bearing components retain and support the selector arrangement. Correct hardware and properly seated mating parts are necessary for the mechanism to assemble as designed.
The verified applications are manual-transmission selector assemblies. Automatic and DSG selectors use different mechanisms and must not be selected from the vehicle name alone. Identify the original selector cover and the full factory hardware number.
Common reasons to replace
- The bolt is missing after selector or bearing-shell service.
- The recessed drive is damaged.
- The threads are damaged or cross-threaded.
- The shank or bearing surface is distorted.
- The factory procedure requires new hardware during repair.
Inspect the cover, bearing shells, lever and receiving threads before installing the bolt. A replacement bolt cannot repair worn selector bearings, damaged cables or a cracked cover. Diagnose the cause of excess lever movement or a shifting fault separately.
Vehicle fitment
Use the manual-transmission, PR-code and VIN restrictions in the table. Model-year limits and selector components can differ even within the same platform. Neighboring production notes for another part do not replace this bolt's own assignment.

Installation guidance
Follow the factory selector-mechanism removal and installation procedure for the exact transmission. Keep the original bearing and cover arrangement identified during disassembly and prevent loose hardware from entering the selector housing.
Seat the bearing components and cover correctly before starting the bolt by hand. Use the appropriate recessed-drive tool and the exact tightening sequence and torque for the cover. Do not use the bolt to pull a misaligned cover into position.
Complete the prescribed selector adjustment and operation checks after reassembly. Verify correct movement and gear selection before returning the vehicle to service.
