Replacing Gear Gaiter and Gear Knob on Hyundai i30

Model: Hyundai I30 MK 2, GD - Years 2011-2016
Part: Shift knob

Lift the gear gaiter from the lower support by simply pulling it with your hands, then unscrew the gear knob (it requires quite a bit of turning) until you can remove it completely. Remove the spring and slide off the gaiter. It's that simple! To reassemble, insert the new gaiter onto the gear lever, fit it into the base support, and position the spring in the same place from which you removed it. Screw the gear knob back on completely. As you can see, this is a very straightforward task that anyone can do themselves, without needing to go to a garage.

After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
