Watch this video to learn how to change the gear knob on a Suzuki Vitara. The same procedure applies to the Suzuki Swift and S-Cross.

You can find this replacement part on Amazon with the code B0BPHPY8TT for £20.00, with free delivery. Use a screwdriver, possibly wrapped in tape to avoid damaging the bodywork, and pull the knob upwards with some force to remove it. Unlike other vehicles, the gaiter and knob are glued together, so take care to apply enough force without overdoing it. Refit the knob without glue, ensuring it fits securely, and the job is complete.
