Again, great video and it helped me a lot when I had to replace my Suzuki swift gear shift knob. My only problem was that the stump from the broken knob did not come out as smoothly as in the video. No matter how hard I try with a screw driver, it would not come off. I actually thought that Some adhesive was used to secure the knob. I learned later that Suzuki does not use adhesives for the gear shift. It was just wonderfully stuck to the white plastic. I had to use a jeweler’s saw to carefully expose one of the ridges of the white plastic pillar. That made it easier to remove the stump of the old shift knob. In hindsight I think that I would have saved a lot of time if I had just drilled a small hole to spray a little wd40 in, to make the black plastic slide off the white plastic. Hope this idea helps you, dear reader.
I found a forum post that said just pull UP on the shift knob to remove. Therefore, no need to remove the plastic trim or leather boot. Can you confirm?
@kiflin8398 so i did change the knob of my car thanks to this video, i think you should not remove that white thing, its mostly so you can put other knobs. its just and adapter basically.
Thank you for your video sir but in my own swift, despite I changed the gear knob very easily, it stays really higher and I cannot push it down no matter hard I try. Suzuki swift 2011. Dp you have any idea?
Check if the old knob is completely removed and no small part remains Also check the design of the knob to see if it matches. Lastly if everything matches, strike it down with force
Haha No. In my case since the knob was broken, I could not take it off just by pulling it up. I had to put in the screwdriver and pry it really hard. If I had not removed the cover, it could have been torn because of the screwdriver. However you are right, you can pull out the knob directly as well. (a lot of people have already commented the same as well) And finally it is not as if it became a 20 hour video. So I guess it is fine :)

That would work as well. And would be easier as well The only reason I removed the leather covering was because my knob was broken and taking the knob off was not easy without tearing the leather covering.
@@GetOhn I am in India and got mine from boodmo (but amazon has it too) The links are in the video description boodmo.com/catalog/part-knob_gear_shift_cont_lever_brown_chrome-50647464/ You can also get it from Amazon from the links below The Original one : amzn.to/3vTelVB The Classier one (from Ciaz) : amzn.to/49lYEY2
You can't pull it that easily. You need to pry it open with a screwdriver or something similar. And while using the screwdriver, you risk tearing the leather cover which is why you remove it first. But yes, you can still try removing the knob without taking off the cover as well.
Hello sir... Same thing happened to me 3 days ago... bt the problem was Even the white T also broke down in my case..That whole along with the white part broke from middle nd came out... SO what should I do now?? Get it some garage??
do you know where i can find a gear knob adapter that will fit over the white part (gear shaft)? Or do you know whether there is thread on the metal under the plastic there?
The gear knob (black) fits directly on to the gear shaft (white colour). There is no thread on the white part. The gear knob can be ordered from here amzn.to/3ytSXHQ If you are looking for connecting the white part to the metal part, that might not be possible. They are molded together I believe. I think you'll have to replacce the entire assembly.
Don’d do dis way! Dis is a waste of dime!🤦♂️ put it in 3rd gear and pull firmly towards yourself without breaking your nose! It comes off in one peace even if it’s broken like his!
I have a few of those white collars that go in between the gear lever and the knob. If anybody wants, please ping me or email me. If you are willing to bear postage charges, I’ll send. Same name on Google mail. Thanks.
