Replacing the Gear Knob on the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Shift knob

In this video tutorial, see how to remove and replace the gear knob of a Citroen C3. Get inside the car and first remove the upper cover where the gears are printed. Then, detach the gear gaiter by unfastening it from below and pulling it upwards; sometimes, there will be a clip connecting the gaiter and knob that you will need to cut, or you can apply force directly to remove the knob. If it does not come off easily, try cutting with a cutter on the sides, being careful. Then, refit the new knob and the gear gaiter.
