How do you replace the gear knob on the Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 8L, MK 1 - Years 1996-2003
Part: Shift knob

In order to replace the Audi A3 gear knob, you have to remove the clips that secure the leather cap to the base of its housing; in this way it will be possible to completely lift the cover and access the connecting ring between the cap and the knob. By removing this ring, it will be possible to remove the knob from the upper part of the lever and consequently also the relative cap. In this way, a new knob can be inserted on the upper part of the lever, fitting the relative cap into the fixing clips placed at the base of its housing.
