Disassembly of the gear knob on the Smart Fortwo 450

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Shift knob

In this short video we will see how to remove and replace, in simple steps, the gear knob on the Smart Fortwo 450, first generation, but also on the 451 and Forfour. First of all we get on board the car to start removing the knob; to do this, simply pull it upwards with force, in order to release it from the clips that we find below, as shown in the video. At this point we are going to check the state of the plastic supports; then we reassemble the new knob, inserting it perfectly up to the interlocking (the important thing is not to create any play between the knob and the lever).
