How to remove the shift knob on an Audi TT

Model: Audi Tt 8N, MK 1 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Shift knob

The following steps will guide you through the process of removing and replacing the manual shift knob on an Audi TT. First, get inside the cabin and begin unscrewing the shift knob counterclockwise; due to wear, it may be difficult to remove the knob from the lever, so use pliers if necessary. At this point, if needed, replace the shift boot, securing it properly to the base; finally, reattach the shift knob, ensuring there is no play between the lever and the knob.
