How to replace the gear knob of the Mini Cooper.

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Shift knob

Today's guide will show us the necessary information to disassemble and replace the gear knob of the Mini Cooper. First, we get inside the car and start pulling up forcefully on our gear knob to detach it from the lever. Then, we check the condition of the gear lever support, as shown in the video. At this point, we can install and reassemble the new gear knob, inserting it in a perfectly straight position. Make sure there is no play between the lever and the knob, which could be uncomfortable while driving.
