Gear lever maintenance on Smart Fortwo

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Transmission

First, wrap the attachment of the knob to the gear lever with a lot of paper tape or with rags, then use a rather large pliers (perhaps those with snap grip) to unscrew slightly, by about 45 degrees, the aforementioned attack. The fact of wrapping it therefore has the purpose of avoiding damaging it. Now pull the knob with your hand, turning it slightly at the same time to help it come out of its seat. Grease the plastic area at the top of the gear lever, then the lever itself and the internal attachment, with a special spray such as the HHS 2000. Reassemble the knob on the lever.
