How to remove the gear knob of the automatic transmission on a Volkswagen Polo 9n

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Shift knob

In this video, we see how to change the knob of a Volkswagen Polo with automatic transmission: at first glance it seems impossible to change it, used as we are to those of cars with manual transmission, but in reality it is just as easy. In fact, under the knob, there is a sort of metal ring that can be rotated. Once we have turned this, we can also turn the knob of the gear lever, which can be changed just like that of a manual transmission. We can find the spare part for example on AliBaba with the code 1600365263627 at the price of 25.71 euros + 7.36 euros for shipping.
