These brief and simple steps will show you how to remove and replace the gear knob on the Smart Fortwo. First, get into the vehicle and pull the gear knob upwards with force until it detaches from the lever; remove the gear gaiter if necessary.

At this point, install the new gear knob of the correct type, first reassembling the gaiter; if needed, secure the knob to the gaiter (perhaps using a zip tie), ensuring that the knob is firmly attached to the gear lever!
