I'm looking to replace the gear shift boot. How do you remove the gear shift knob? Has anyone done it before? Customer service said to pull it hard, but I've tried with all my strength and it won't come off. Is there an easier way?

You need to make a disassembly tool yourself to remove it; it can't be pulled out by hand. Use two pieces of metal to clamp the bottom, and install a set screw at the spherical part and push it upwards to take it out.

I've replaced it, brute force sometimes works wonders, no other way. You'd better buy a set; the ball joint is a one-time use thing, it gets damaged once you take it off.

I changed it, but once the gear knob was removed, it couldn't be used again. First step, I damaged the dust cover, then used a screwdriver to pry open the gear knob, and with a strong pull, it came off.

To replace the dust cover on the gear lever of a 2018 manual transmission ZS, follow these general steps: 1. **Remove the Gear Knob:** First, unscrew or pull off the gear knob, depending on its attachment method. 2. **Detach the Dust Cover:** Carefully pry off the trim panel around the gear lever to access the dust cover. This might require a trim removal tool to avoid damaging the panel. 3. **Remove the Old Dust Cover:** Once the trim is removed, you'll see how the dust cover is attached. It might be clipped or screwed in place. Remove any fasteners and take off the old cover. 4. **Install the New Dust Cover:** Position the new dust cover in place, ensuring it's aligned correctly. Secure it with the clips or screws you removed earlier. 5. **Reattach Trim Panel:** Pop or screw the trim panel back into place around the gear lever. 6. **Reattach Gear Knob:** Finally, screw or push the gear knob back onto the lever. Note: These steps are a general guide. It's always best to refer to the vehicle's manual or consult a professional for specific instructions related to your car model.

MG HS experiences a strong jolt when shifting from P to R or D when the car is cold. This has happened many times. When I went to the service center, the technician connected a computer and reprogrammed the transmission for gear learning. It got better, but after some time, the jolt returns when shifting gears with a cold engine.

What could be the issue with the 2019 JETOUR X70 having difficulty shifting gears? The clutch master cylinder and transmission have already been replaced, and the issue has somewhat improved. However, sometimes it's still hard to engage first gear.
