How to replace the gear knob of the car

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Shift knob

In the market, there are various gear shift knobs for vehicles, both original and compatible. Before purchasing, however, it is necessary to understand if the knob we desire is compatible with our vehicle. After paying attention to this detail, we can proceed with the replacement of the knob. We get into the vehicle and remove the metal clip at the base of the knob and then release it by pulling upwards. We insert the new knob and depending on the model, we may or may not need to make modifications to the base. Once the replacement is completed, we test the operation of the gear shift by moving it through the various gears.
