How to remove the gear knob if damaged? Here’s how to replace the knob on a Fiat Grande Punto. Grip the knob and pull it off decisively until it comes off the gear lever (pull upwards with force).

Finally, test the knob's movement on the centre console to see if it moves. Position the knob with the gear numbering horizontally.
