I like this vid. It was straight to the point with specifics. Although, I was doing a U-turn and while doing so, I accidentally pulled my shifter out. Know any places to get a Led light board for the shifter. My part is 5c7713203A OFN. E-Bay has a 5c7713203B OFN. Whats the difference, color?

@JH-sc7cs 2 жыл бұрын

Good video....though it can be done a little easier than this.....There's no need to expose the internals of the plastic rod/pin and gearshifter latch! The leather boot can be removed without taking off the whole trim surround and then the gearshifter just needs a good strong pull UP and it will come off and the button will stay in the re-install position (don't press the button in while pulling it up/off) Best to pull it off in N gear position so you don't whack anything on the dash.

So I was just messing with my shift boot but now my car won’t turn over. I never pulled the knob, just the cloth boot and plastic aluminum looking trim. A warning sound dinged but I thought it was because the door was open and the shifter was not in park, no warning lights indicating a problem. Anyone care to take a guess? I’m stumped.

Hello, I have a 2013 VW passat and I can't get the key out of the ignition. The problem started after hard stop to avoid collision and a box hit the shifter changing it from D to P. I can shift between "gears" without a problem, but once I put the car on P the ignition does not release the key. Any ideas of how can be fix? Thank you

@truth4reel 5 жыл бұрын

You don't have to do all that. Put the shifter in D/pop the trim around the shifter/pull the boot up and pull up on the black plastic locking ring/pull up hard on the shifter. Once it's out DO NOT press the button or you won't be able to put it back unless you pop the silver dsg cover and mess with it.

truth4reel does the white plastic part clip in easy if you do it that way?

@truth4reel 5 жыл бұрын

@@sth801lifestyle once you remove the shifter the way I describe (without pressing the button) you'll notice that the button sticks out more than normal. That's called the "installed position". As long as you didn't press the the button while the shifter was out it will reinstall with no problems. But if you press the button while the shifter was out then you'll have to do as shown in this video in order to reinstall.

truth4reel I wish I would have read your comment before attempting this. I tried re-installing the knob because I got a new boot and snapped the white plastic part. Now there saying I got to buy a whole new assembly which wouldn’t be cheap. I’m wondering if there’s a cheap way to fix that part. You have any suggestions?
