Replacing the Manual Gear Knob on a Toyota Corolla

Model: Toyota Corolla MK 3 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Shift knob

Do you want to replace the manual gear knob on a Toyota Corolla? Here’s how to do it: unscrew the knob by hand and remove it from the gear lever. Use a plastic lever to disconnect the gear gaiter frame located on the centre console. For reassembly: fit the leather gaiter at the bottom of the knob along with the frame and screw the new knob down until it is fully threaded onto the lever. Finally, test the movement of the lever on the centre console to ensure the correct fitting of the knob and leather gaiter.

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14.
