How to Replace the Gear Knob Gaiter on a Lancia Ypsilon

Model: Lancia Ypsilon 843, MK 2, Ypsilon 2, Y2 - Years 2003-2011
Part: Shifter boot

To carry out this simple operation, you will need a few tools and a few minutes of your time. Start by disconnecting the button that secures the top part of the gear knob gaiter. Now, using a lever, detach and then lift the gear knob ring. This allows you to flip the entire gaiter upwards. Continue pulling to remove it from the gear lever. Next, remove the base to which the gaiter was attached for proper repair. Then, retrace the steps in reverse for reassembling the various components.
