Car Forum / Volvo Cars / October 2005Replacing Shift Lever Cover..Need Help
I have a new shift lever cover but can't remove the old one. How do you remove the shift lever knob so new cover can be installed? I see a small screw on the left side of know but after removing it and pulling forward the knob does not seem to want to come off. Does it take a lot of pressure or is there some other way? Thanks for any assistance. James B > I have a new shift lever cover but can't remove the old one. How do you > remove the shift lever knob so new cover can be installed?

You'll have to remove the shift knob too, IIRC you use a wrench to hook the bottom of it and tap that with a hammer to pop it off, watch for the spring which will likely shoot out of the button. Oh remove the overdrive lockout button first so you don't rip the wires out. Thanks, James. The shift knob is what I was having trouble with. It's an automatic transmission. There is a screw on the left side, I think. After unscrewing this..I did not know how much pressure to exert to remove the knob. The one time I tried it seemed like there were a lot of wires underneath the know and I did not want to try and remove. JB > > 1992 240. > > I knew there was something I forgot in my post!
