How to Replace the Gear Knob on the Volvo S70?

Model: Volvo S70 MK 1 - Years 1996-2000
Part: Shift knob

You can replace the gear knob on the Volvo S70 by prying off the leather gaiter at the base of the lever; once this is lifted, you can widen the ring that connects the leather gaiter to the top of the knob. When the knob is removed, you can detach it completely from the gear selector to fit the new one: this can now be repositioned by inserting the gaiter and the knob, ensuring everything functions correctly.
