Changing the gaiter and gear knob on your Fiat Panda is really simple and cost-effective. You can find various types priced between £8.50 and £15.50 on major e-commerce platforms, and the job is very straightforward.

Remove the gear knob and the reverse spring. Just pull the gaiter upwards and the entire ring comes off. Keep this ring just in case the one provided with the gaiter isn't 100% accurate.

Observe the linkage to reinsert it in the same manner. Place a zip tie at the top to secure the faux leather, and refit the gaiter into its designated position.

Refit the spring and the knob. The job is complete.
