Today, you will learn how to replace the gear knob and gaiter on your Citroen C3. First, remove the gaiter that covers the gear knob by pulling the sides inward to release them, then detach the top part of the gaiter to free the gear knob attachment for easier access.

Next, remove the gear knob by simply unhooking the clip at the end and gently pulling it off along with the gaiter.

At this point, insert the new gaiter and secure it, then attach the new gear knob, ensuring it is firmly in place using the clip.
