Model: Renault Modus MK 1 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Shift knob

This guide will illustrate the procedure for replacing the gear knob on the Renault Modus. Follow these steps: 1. Before installation, check that the base of the new knob is not too tight or irregular compared to the original; 2. If the new part is fine and matches the original, start by removing the knob, first taking off the protective gaiter using a small tool to help lever it off; 3. With a firm grip and moderate force, lift the gear knob and remove it from its position; 4. Use a small pair of pliers to remove the O-ring that secures the gaiter to the gear knob; 5. Insert the new gear knob and complete the installation by reversing the previous steps, ensuring that its position relative to its fitting is perfectly straight.
