In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the automatic gear knob in the Subaru Legacy, a very simple and quick operation. First, let's go inside the cabin, then separate the chrome ring from the knob by pushing it down and prying with a very thin tool, such as a utility knife.

Next, let's locate the indicated clip, detach it using pliers, and remove the knob from the shaft by pulling it forcefully upwards. At this point, all that remains is to position the replacement part, reinsert the clip, and secure the lower ring.
