How to Remove the Gear Lever of Sagitar?
2 Answers
First, remove the plastic cover on the head of the gear lever and set it aside for now. Then, there is a clip under the dust cover, which should also be removed. Try to be as gentle as possible. Next, gently pull it out, and the car's gear lever can be removed effortlessly. Note that the core in the middle of the shift lever is made of plastic and can break easily. After inspecting and adjusting the issue, reassemble it using the original method. You can use an oil pipe clip during reassembly.
I've taken apart the Jetta's gear shift lever several times, this job requires careful handling. First, turn off the engine and remove the key to ensure the vehicle is secure. Then start with the trim panel around the gear shift, using plastic prying tools to gently pry it open—don't force it to avoid scratching the interior. The gear shift is usually secured with screws or clips; unscrew with a screwdriver, or press lightly to release clips. After removal, check inside—be careful not to pull any wires, and when removing the gear shift, note if there's a button wire attached, don't yank it. Afterwards, you can clean or replace it. The whole process isn't difficult; my first time took half an hour, now it's done in five minutes. But safety first—if unsure, don't touch it.
