First, remove the trim around the gaiter attachment on the central dashboard of your vehicle. This will allow you to lift the gaiter covering the gear stick.

Next, remove the part of the lever that you lift to engage reverse. To do this, leverage at the right point of the white ring that secures the moving part.

Now, you can rotate the knob and lift it upwards to extract it. This way, you can replace the affected parts, either the gaiter or the knob, and then proceed to reassemble the various components.
