Replacement of the gear knob of the Citroen C3 Picasso

Model: Citroen C3 Picasso MK 1 - Years 2008-2017
Part: Transmission

In this video we can see how to change the gear knob of the Citroen C3 Picasso. Let's first get the replacement part. It is a kit, composed of the actual knob and a polyethylene adapter that holds it in place, and we can find it on Temu with the code SFN1445\u901f\u624b\u52a8\u6321\u6321\u677f\u6298\u53e0\u5668\u53ca at a price of 1.93 euros: on this platform, however, delivery is free only for purchases over 20 euros. As we can see, we first need to slide the cuff over the gear lever, in order to cut the strap that held the leather, to release the knob. Let's take the opportunity to clean under the cuff, put the new adapter on the lever and then the new knob. We reattach the cuff and the knob with a new strap and put the cuff back in its housing. Operation completed.
