With regular use, the gear knob on the Mercedes Sprinter may show signs of wear that necessitate its replacement. To carry out the replacement, sit in the driver's seat, and using a pair of pliers, rotate the knob left and right to unlock it. Grip the knob and gently pull it off while ensuring that the spring mounted on the lever does not get lost.

Take the new knob, align it with the gear pattern, tap it on gently, and finish inserting it using a rubber mallet.
