How to Replace the Gear Knob on a Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Shift knob

Do you want to replace the gear knob on a Volkswagen Golf? Here’s how to do it: use a plastic lever to disconnect the trim of the leather gaiter, cut/remove the metal clip; take the knob in your hands and rotate it left and right until it comes off the gear lever. For assembly: take the new knob and slide it onto the lever in the centre console, tightening it onto the lever; fit the new leather gaiter with the clips (inserted along with the knob). Finally, test the correct installation of the knob by moving the lever on the centre console.
