The steps to replace the gear lever button on the Regal are: 1. Use a pointed screwdriver to pry open the cover of the aftermarket gear lever; 2. Remove the chrome buckle, align the slot, and insert the new gear lever into it. Taking the 2020 Regal as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category, with body dimensions of: length 4904mm, width 1863mm, height 1461mm, wheelbase of 2829mm, fuel tank capacity of 55l, and trunk capacity of 441l. The 2020 Regal is equipped with a 1.5t turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 169ps, maximum power of 124kw, maximum torque of 250nm, and is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I just replaced the shift lever button on my Regal because it kept causing issues with rough shifting. The replacement steps were pretty straightforward: First, go to an auto parts store to buy a new button that matches the model—I spent less than 50 yuan. Then, turn off the engine and disconnect the battery to prevent short circuits. Next, carefully pry open the cover on the shift lever head using a small screwdriver or plastic pry tool—there’s a clip inside, so don’t pull too hard. The old button is held in place by a clip; gently pry it out and press the new button into place. Finally, test the shifting function to ensure it’s smooth and free of resistance before reassembling the cover. Remember to perform the whole process on a flat, safe surface, wear gloves to avoid injury, and if any parts feel too tight, don’t force them—consulting a professional mechanic is a safer bet to avoid damaging more components.
