How to remove the gear knob and gaiter in the Audi A6?

Model: Audi A6 MK 3, C6 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Shift knob

In the video, we can see how to dismantle and reassemble the gear knob and shift boot. As a first step, we need to remove the base of the shift boot, which is fitted together. Using a flat object, we can pry it loose and remove it from its seat. After lifting the shift boot, we must remove the metal clip that anchors it to the shift lever, and then we can pull the gear knob upwards. This way, we will also extract the shift boot. To reassemble everything, we can follow the same steps as before but in reverse order, so first we reattach the gear knob, then the clip, and only at the end the base of the shift boot.
