Replacing the Gear Knob on a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2021
Part: Shift knob

Using a small flathead screwdriver, a plastic lever, or a craft knife, pry at the junction of the top of the gear knob, where the gear pattern is located. Continue until this area is removed, then detach the white cover underneath it. At this point, you will have free access to the screw securing the gear knob: to unscrew it properly, I recommend using a ratchet spanner. Once done, you can easily remove the knob. Proceed in reverse for reassembly.
