Thank you - your video was great and I would not have been able to do this myself without your video. My car is fixed and it only cost me money for the new shifter.
Shift but can definitely be replaced. I replaced my cracking one with a nice alcantara one from Viva with the help from George there. Your previous video of removing the knob helped me out a lot to remove my stock one to replace it with a brand new T5 sport leather one. 👍 Keep up the great and helpful videos!!
Thanks so much! This was very helpful because we fixed our own shift knob on Volvo XC70 using this technique. You saved us a bunch of time and money :).
Tried this and everything went like you showed except it wouldn't come off. Will try again then if need be take to a mechanic or someone better equipped.
This is BS. I pulled the SOB, twisted, tugged, prayed, beat on it, prayed some more, felt my rotator cuff tear at about the same time my L4-L5 disk ruptured. My trip to the junk yard to pull this friggen gear shift off cost the entry fee of $1 but the ambulance to take me to the ER was about $875 and the gear shift hasn't moved. ☠
I have pulled a few of this off in the junk yards but 95 percent of them are in the park position, when this is you have to go in the direction of the gear shifter not pull straight up. I learn from you about keeping constant pressure and wiggle side to side with the pressure applied...thanks for this. I like to see a video of taking off the control panel on the drivers seat by the floor.
Great tip Mark. Indeed, in the junkyard is harder to remove these - usually the cars don't have the key in the ignition so now way to move the gear selector. I noted for the seat control panel, will see at the next yard trip
Do you know what the correct term for that ring is called that holds the gear selector on? I’m trying to order both on fcp euro I found the gear selector not the small ring
This was exactly what I wanted to watch.. Installed new shifter with confidence!

Glad it helped

You are my volvo god dude. I don't know how I'd figure out some of these quirky things without you

Glad to hear
Just changed last week cool videos have had most all common problems on s80 gotta love volvos lol
Thanks.
This is my next task on my 2003 XC70.
It came in just the right time.
Mine was sitting very hard. Finally solved with a shift hammer or zughammer 🙌
Thanks very much👍🏼
Hi thanks for posting the video, my car is a 2001 S60 2435cc with geartronic automatic. Do you know if the shifter knob has the pin or no pin? Thanks.
Tried this and everything went like you showed except it wouldn't come off. Will try again then if need be take to a mechanic or someone better equipped.
Do You have to remove plastic piece before removing knob?
Good video and good work, it was very interesting. thanks//////////
'Definitely looks like it doesn't want to come but it will come' is a fair description. I would have given up, if not for this sentence.
Thanks for the video. Is this the same for a manual transmission?

So it needs to be in park to remove this or you can have it in neutral to get a better grip on the thing?
It doesn't matter in which position, you will get a better grip if it's closer to the arm rest

Not sure but if you couldn't find it on fcp euro I would recommend looking at ipd
He completely missed the knob on the first swing. 😂😂😂 Really smart though.
Excellent!!
Thank you
