How to change the gear knob on a Mini

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Shift knob

Do you want to change the gear knob mounted on a Mini brand car? Let's see how to proceed with the disassembly: to begin with, remove the frame of the leather cap with a plastic lever; we take the knob in our hands and rotate it to the left and right until it is removed from the shift rod (twist type). To carry out the assembly: mount the new leather cap with the clips (if disassembled), then take the new knob and insert it into the rod on the central tunnel until it is tightened in the rod. Finally, we test the correct assembly of the knob with the movement of the rod on the central tunnel.
