    Great video! Buttttt I have a 2002 VW Jetta and I tried this method for so long, and it didn’t work! Really what u gotta do is put it in 3rd or 4th gear so u have leverage and PUSH THE SILVER BUTTON IN , (not out) and pull the heck outta it I promise you I thought mines was glued on lol, but I finally got it the way I just explained ^-^ good luck

    Mine is a 2002 prototype according to the owners manual. The shifter assembly is very basic the head of the assembly attaches to the shifter rod with 4 plastic clips, and the actuator inside is spring loaded and is basically a button itself... had to break the silver part to remove the head though, it clipped into the shifterhead in such a way as to be unremoveable otherwise, but was just a decorative piece anyway

    On my 2000 Golf Non-Trip Tronic. I was able to Puch the chrome sleeve down by hand. And I pushed the button in and it came right off. The button stayed pushed-in until I re-installed.

    Matt, great video. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked for me. I have a 2003 Jetta Wolfburg edition. I do as you did and get the knob to partially come up but then it stops and won't come the rest of the way. If I push the button, it pulls the knob back down. The silver cover over the button came out all the way and a single spring with it. I can now spin the knob all the way round, but it just won't pop off no matter how hard I pull. I also cannot tell where the spring goes. Can you help? Thank you

      @alanskylux9822 2 года назад

      It has clips on the side that attach to a plastic main piece underneath. It's easier when the plastic part around it is taken off, but as the other person mentioned you can just pry it out.

    I picked up a shifter knob off a junk yard jetta and when I took it off, the button went inside the knob. Is that okay for that to happen or is the knob I got busted in some way? I don't want to take off my functional one until I know this one is okay to swap. Thanks in advance.

      Drive automatic for a month on daily basis, you will not go back to manual, it's just a douche attitude to say what you said and not experience luxury in relaxing driving. Whats even the point of having 2 liter petrol or diesel engine with fwd with manual shifter... and you don't need to have manual to have fun. I had the same thoughts on automatics before I drowe them for a while my mind has totally changed and I will probably preffer auto for all my life. Its just a perspective of a man/woman which is affraid to make changes in their lives. And oppinions like these are just as a baricade for your self improvement. Don't listen to other douches who say oh auto is for woman or old persons, bullshit - every time someone gets in my car asks me how it is to drive auto, expenses etc and no bad oppinions people are interested in something different but are afraid to take risks, here are no risks automatic gearboxes are allready here for decades and they work fine repair costs only exceed just a bit over manuals but the relaxation and not shifting in traffic jams like madman makes it much more than just an old persons gearbox...
