Replacing the gear knob in your Saab 9-3 second series (2002-2014) is a very simple operation. First, ensure you have a new knob that is perfectly compatible.

Then, remove the existing knob by pulling it firmly upwards. At this point, fit the new knob and you are done.

Check for any lateral play and test the proper functioning by performing a few empty gear changes. If there is any unusual play, don't worry; simply remove it and reassemble it again.
