In this article, you will learn how to replace the gear knob on a Mini Cooper F56. This procedure is useful for replacing a worn gear knob. The only tool required for this operation is a flathead screwdriver.

To replace the gear knob, first use the screwdriver to lever the lower block of the lever as shown in the video below. Apply pressure to lift it. Once lifted, be careful as there is a connector that needs to be disconnected.

After disconnecting the connector, lift the cover of the gear lever until you reach underneath the knob. At this point, grip the gear knob and pull it upwards with force; the gear knob will now be removed.

Next, remove the retaining pin that secures the knob to the cover to replace it. Then, secure the new knob with the appropriate pin, insert the knob, correctly refit the cover, reconnect the connector, and finally reinsert the block by applying pressure with your hands.
