Great video! And thanks for everyone's comments. The knob on our Swift was VERY difficult to remove and we wouldn't have had the courage to keep powering through without all of the experiences of other people. We resorted to pliers after the screwdriver technique didn't work.
Again, great video and it helped me a lot when I had to replace my Suzuki swift gear shift knob. My only problem was that the stump from the broken knob did not come out as smoothly as in the video. No matter how hard I try with a screw driver, it would not come off. I actually thought that Some adhesive was used to secure the knob. I learned later that Suzuki does not use adhesives for the gear shift. It was just wonderfully stuck to the white plastic. I had to use a jeweler’s saw to carefully expose one of the ridges of the white plastic pillar. That made it easier to remove the stump of the old shift knob. In hindsight I think that I would have saved a lot of time if I had just drilled a small hole to spray a little wd40 in, to make the black plastic slide off the white plastic. Hope this idea helps you, dear reader.
I found a forum post that said just pull UP on the shift knob to remove. Therefore, no need to remove the plastic trim or leather boot. Can you confirm?
@kiflin8398 so i did change the knob of my car thanks to this video, i think you should not remove that white thing, its mostly so you can put other knobs. its just and adapter basically.
Haha No. In my case since the knob was broken, I could not take it off just by pulling it up. I had to put in the screwdriver and pry it really hard. If I had not removed the cover, it could have been torn because of the screwdriver. However you are right, you can pull out the knob directly as well. (a lot of people have already commented the same as well) And finally it is not as if it became a 20 hour video. So I guess it is fine :)
Thank you for your video sir but in my own swift, despite I changed the gear knob very easily, it stays really higher and I cannot push it down no matter hard I try. Suzuki swift 2011. Dp you have any idea?
Check if the old knob is completely removed and no small part remains Also check the design of the knob to see if it matches. Lastly if everything matches, strike it down with force
Hello sir... Same thing happened to me 3 days ago... bt the problem was Even the white T also broke down in my case..That whole along with the white part broke from middle nd came out... SO what should I do now?? Get it some garage??
You can't pull it that easily. You need to pry it open with a screwdriver or something similar. And while using the screwdriver, you risk tearing the leather cover which is why you remove it first. But yes, you can still try removing the knob without taking off the cover as well.

That would work as well. And would be easier as well The only reason I removed the leather covering was because my knob was broken and taking the knob off was not easy without tearing the leather covering.
@@GetOhn I am in India and got mine from boodmo (but amazon has it too) The links are in the video description boodmo.com/catalog/part-knob_gear_shift_cont_lever_brown_chrome-50647464/ You can also get it from Amazon from the links below The Original one : amzn.to/3vTelVB The Classier one (from Ciaz) : amzn.to/49lYEY2
do you know where i can find a gear knob adapter that will fit over the white part (gear shaft)? Or do you know whether there is thread on the metal under the plastic there?
The gear knob (black) fits directly on to the gear shaft (white colour). There is no thread on the white part. The gear knob can be ordered from here amzn.to/3ytSXHQ If you are looking for connecting the white part to the metal part, that might not be possible. They are molded together I believe. I think you'll have to replacce the entire assembly.
I have a few of those white collars that go in between the gear lever and the knob. If anybody wants, please ping me or email me. If you are willing to bear postage charges, I’ll send. Same name on Google mail. Thanks.
Don’d do dis way! Dis is a waste of dime!🤦♂️ put it in 3rd gear and pull firmly towards yourself without breaking your nose! It comes off in one peace even if it’s broken like his!
Great video! And thanks for everyone's comments. The knob on our Swift was VERY difficult to remove and we wouldn't have had the courage to keep powering through without all of the experiences of other people. We resorted to pliers after the screwdriver technique didn't work.
Glad that it helped!
Thanks Sir! Switching the gear knob in my mom's car was smooth and fast because I watched your video! Much appreciated.
Glad it helped. And thanks for dropping a comment!
Very useful. Well explained. Same thing happened to me on my Suzuki. Thank you for sharing! 👍🏽
Couldn’t just pull it, it was stuck - the screwdriver method helped, thanks💪
Glad that it helped

WD40 always works. :)
Great tip though. Thanks
Just to inquire, I’m trying to put a new gear knob for a Suzuki Swift 2006 hatchback. Do I order a threaded one or which one?
Thanks! This will be very helpful, I had the exact same crumbling of my gear knob (swift also)
Very well explained. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation
Glad that it helped!
This was very useful.. thanks for the detailed explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
I got it replaced from the service center. This new gear lever from Baleno / Ciaz is looking very nice and very good to touch as well.
Great to hear!
How much did it cost?
NO need to remove the bottom portion and the leather cover.
I found a forum post that said just pull UP on the shift knob to remove. Therefore, no need to remove the plastic trim or leather boot. Can you confirm?
@@GetOhn Yeah, he just did a ton of unnecessary steps.
Can the white gear shaft be removed easily? I bought a custom knob with a thread adapter, but didn't realize there was that t-type shaft underneath...
No. The white portion is kind of fused with the shaft.
You break the white portion, you might end up having to change the entire gear assembly.
Damn, i just got a blue goodyear knob to replace the broken suzuki one, imma engenier the shiet out of it 😂
@kiflin8398 so i did change the knob of my car thanks to this video, i think you should not remove that white thing, its mostly so you can put other knobs. its just and adapter basically.
Thank you very much sir 😊
why u removed any bottom portion just to increase the length of the video?
Haha No. In my case since the knob was broken, I could not take it off just by pulling it up. I had to put in the screwdriver and pry it really hard. If I had not removed the cover, it could have been torn because of the screwdriver.

Hello sir... Same thing happened to me 3 days ago... bt the problem was Even the white T also broke down in my case..That whole along with the white part broke from middle nd came out... SO what should I do now?? Get it some garage??
The entire gear shaft assembly might need need to be replaced.
Get it checked form some garage!
Was it fixed ?
What happens if I pull the gear nob directly from above? Like without removing cover and all

@@TheMuser thanks! I just tried it and it all came off easily.
@@TheMuser Hi again. I'm struggling to find a replacement knob that fits the white plastic 'T' shaped section. May I ask where you got yours?

Can I fix this Ciaz knob in 2008 model Swift
I have used it in a 2013 Swift. I think it should work in a 2008 Swift since the gear shaft should be the same. But I cannot say for sure
Thanks Bro!!
Sir.. What's that small white part called just under the gear knob? Is it available for buy only that part?
That is the gear shaft. From what I have heard, you can't buy that separately. It is part of the assembly.
But again I am not very sure.
Thanks a lot
Same issue with sx4 happened
Yes Seems like a frequent occurence with Marutis!
do you know where i can find a gear knob adapter that will fit over the white part (gear shaft)? Or do you know whether there is thread on the metal under the plastic there?

did you find an adapter for it or were you able to take the white shaft off? in the same boat right now; looking for an adapter that fits over it...
Thanks.. very usedul

Useful 👍🌹
I have a few of those white collars that go in between the gear lever and the knob. If anybody wants, please ping me or email me. If you are willing to bear postage charges, I’ll send. Same name on Google mail. Thanks.
Hello, sir was searching, is it still available? Needed it
Don’d do dis way! Dis is a waste of dime!🤦♂️ put it in 3rd gear and pull firmly towards yourself without breaking your nose! It comes off in one peace even if it’s broken like his!
Dude...no need to pull out any panel, just Push a screw driver in between the leather cover and rod and pry it out gently...
That's true. You can do that but you run a higher risk of tearing the cover with the screwdriver
Ciaz gear knob looks good. Does it fit perfectly ? I had used an aftermarket one earlier and it started to wobble 🥲🥲
Yes it does! This was a Maruti Genuine spare with the item number and all
And more importantly no issues at all!
