Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to change the gear knob on a Mercedes Vito W639: first, pry off the panel that shows the gear layout. Underneath, you will find a T20 screw, which you will unscrew, allowing the knob to slide off easily.

Below, you will find the spring that serves for reverse gear, which you will leave in place. You can find the knob easily on any e-commerce site.

We suggest the code 125459166937 on eBay, which costs £19.45, including delivery charges. Refit it in place, screw the screw back in, and reinsert the shield with the gear positions into the slots on the top of the knob, and the operation is complete.
