Replacement of the gear lever gaiter and knob of the Fiat Panda 169.

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Shifter boot

If the gear knob of the Fiat Panda is loose and does not stay in its position but rotates freely, we can consider replacing it. Grip it firmly and pull it to the side to remove it, unlock the base of the cover and remove everything together with the spring. Cut the strap and retrieve the cylinder that slides on the rod, take the replacement kit, insert the cover at the base of the cylinder and secure it with the velcro and a new Velcro strap. Slide the cylinder onto the rod and lock the base of the cover, place the spring at the base of the knob, insert the knob onto the rod and using a rubber hammer, lock it into position.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
