How to replace the gear shift knob of the Chevrolet Cruze.

Model: Chevrolet Cruze MK 1, J300 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Shift knob

Today we will discover the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and remove the gear shift knob of the Chevrolet Cruze. First, let's get inside the vehicle and start pulling firmly upwards on the gear knob to detach and remove it; also remove the spring and separate it from the gear boot, as shown in the video. At this point, install the new knob, securing it properly onto the lever (it may be necessary to place a zip tie at the base between the boot and the knob); make sure it is firmly attached to the gear shift lever!
