Our current gear knob is worn badly, so I bought a new one with the shifter boot/gear gaiter.
I was just wondering, how to take the old one off and put the new one on/or any guides that are about? (they're exactly the same) As it doesn't seem like it screws on as I can't see any thread in the knob.
It the manual 6 speed ....
Swap DSG knob in mk7 for that of an A3 or S3 knob. I have searched but could not find anything about swapping DSG gear knobs. I don't know if it's something easy to do but I would like to swap mine for something that you would see more in the Audi as I would like something that is more round.

The existing manuals do not work, they show a knob previous to this one and don't apply.
Hyundai Elantra: Console. Repair procedures - Interior - Body (Interior and Exterior) - Hyundai Elantra MD 2010-2016 Service manual
Shows an earlier one and I can't find any other info.
I'm new to this and not really sure if I'm doing it right. I need to know how to take the gear shift knob off my 2008 santa fe.

View 2 RepliesI've tolerated having to release my key with the manual push button for years. Now the interior is disassembled (after replacing evap core) so I'm looking into fixing the BTSI.
I've never been clear on whether the problem is in the console by the gear shift or in the steering column. The thing is in the steering and has a solenoid that will mechanically allow the key to turn to the LOCK position when energized. The manual release is at the bottom.
I connected the leads of that white thing to battery voltage and sure enough, the post retracts. So that seems to work. However, when connected to the car wiring, there is not enough voltage to retract. It retract, it will hold. I concluded the problem is near the gear shift. Probing the lead (with the white thing disconnected) indicate battery voltage, but that's without any current.
Battery voltage is getting to the wiring harness in the console. Probing the leads to the Park switch indicates 90 ohms resistance. I suspect this is too high and causing a big voltage drop so there's not enough to energize the solenoid in the column.
What can be replaced in the console to remedy this? Is it only the park switch?
How is the gear shift knob removed? I see a slit in the back of the knob, but don't know how the mechanism works.
How do I take off the gear shift knob? I want to replace it with an aftermarket one.
View 1 RepliesThis morning the Shift Knob made a click every time I selected a gear, for about an hour, then it went away.
It was colder than almost ever here (Berkeley, CA) last nite, 30F. But there was no click back in '05 at 10F (in Prudhoe Bay, AK).
Mechanics (even the dealership!) say not to worry--probably a plastic part--just advised me to shift gently.
I've got a 2001.5 v6 passat w/ auto and my shift knob has this cool burl veneer on it. I think it's real wood but it's pretty thin and it's got cracks on the front and the back. I can't see any simple way to remove the stick so that I can try to glue it. How to do that. But it's a standard tiprtonic shifter ... probably the standard on that model.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to remove the shift knob and the steps are entirely different than the DSG knobs from the GTI; You take just the boot off (not the assembly) then underneath is a hose clamp which needs to be removed. (this is not on the GTI version); I cannot figure out how to get this clamp off; I guess you need hose clamp pliers? And then do you need a new hose clamp? Won't it ruin the clamp?
View 24 RepliesSo I changed out my cupholder yesterday, which required the removal of the a/c knobs and everything and when I put everything back, I realized the mode knob (feet/rear defrost/etc) didn't turn at all. I came home and lined the knob back up and it now turns as it did, the cable behind the panel turns with the knob so it looks like it's doing something but it isn't. I imagine the cable came unhitched from something or other, considering it seems to be moving but I have no clue how it was before.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to swap out the shift boot of my 2004 (B5.5) Passat 1.8T 4Motion and running into trouble. According to the instructions from the new Red Line shift boot, I should be able to separate the two collars that hold the boot to the knob. However, the white post that's part of the knob assembly has a piece that's bigger than the lower black collar, preventing it from being removed. Is there something I'm missing? How can I remove the boot without damaging the existing knob assembly?
