How to Replace the Gear Lever on a Citroen C5

Model: Citroen C5 MK 2, RD, X7 - Years 2008-2017
Part: Shifter boot

In this video, you will see how to replace the gear knob and gaiter on a Citroen C5: start by removing the gaiter from its housing by gently pulling it upwards. Remove the ring that holds the gaiter to the knob, then pull the knob off from the top. For replacement, you can follow the youtuber's instructions, but we want to offer you an alternative: the code B09G74JH2M on Amazon for £14.99, with free delivery for Prime customers; moreover, it arrives already assembled, so there's no need to waste time putting it together with a clip. Simply place the knob on the shaft and gently pull down. At that point, just position the plastic square correctly in its place and you're done.
