How to replace the gear knob of the Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini Mark2 - Years 1967-1970
Part: Shift knob

Today we will explain how to replace the gear knob on a vintage Mini Cooper vehicle. Vintage knobs can be purchased online on second-hand item resale sites. Performing the replacement is a very simple and quick operation that does not require any tools. We get into the car and turn the old knob counterclockwise to unscrew it from the gear mechanism. Once the old knob is removed, we insert the new one and turn it clockwise to screw it onto the gear mechanism. After completing this operation, we start the car and test the functioning of the gearbox by engaging the various gears.
