Description
About the Mercury Marquis Shift Knob and Pedals
These are the contact points of every drive: the shift knob with easy-to-read gear markings and the original molded pattern, and the pedal assembly with reinforced steel arms and non-slip rubber pads covering the accelerator and brake, as the live page describes. The set keeps the OE-correct appearance that preserves a Marquis interior’s character, includes the original wiring for an indicator switch or sensor where the car was factory equipped, and installs at the factory mounting points reusing your car’s bolts and bushings, with no painting or modification required.
Why Marquis Owners Replace These Controls
Forty-five years of feet and hands wear through these parts first: knob patterns polish smooth and crack, pedal pads wear slick and split, and loose, sloppy controls undermine both the driving feel and the safety of confident braking. Restorers also buy complete sets to replace mismatched or missing pieces with original-pattern hardware.

- Your shifter is the floor-mount style; many 1979 cars carried column shift
