Took my car to the shop for a transmission flush and they broke my shifter, tried to act like they didn't.. well, I bought the part off eBay and figured I've been in the business long enough to know a few things .. watched your video and have to say easy peasy 🍋 squeezy .. best one yet
Thats pure Insanity....youtube is your best friend for repairs. Never be afraid to work on your own stuff it's likely you'll do a better job repairing your own things than a shop or dealer will these days. Not to say there aren't any honest mechanics out there but the point is, If a guy can do it...then so can a woman! Good job.
Was quoted the same insane price ($1000!) and this video meant I only paid $30, and got my car on the road long before the 4 weeks the service department would take to start on it.
Put in neutral depress broken button with pen and pull extremely hard!!! Thank you sir! This has been a big problem for a long time I been jamming a pen inside the knob to shift it was really embarrassing and the Buick regal is no junker it has been one of the best most reliable cars I ever owned in my life.. Really appreciate you
Did the trigger come off with a small plastic piece and a spring? You may be able to fix the trigger. I managed to use the selfie camera on my phone to line up the plastic piece and spring inside of the trigger on the shifter column. I then taped it on to stay.
Short, simple, to the point. Well done
Just did this fix... everything he says is 100% right thanks for the info

@@rebeccagray7222i was quoted $620 after tax…$350 for the part and $200 for labour. Everything is a damn scam these days
Just got done watching like 15 of these vids guess I saved the best for last. Thanks!

This wouldn't need to be done if they didnt use cheap fucking plastic on the shift lock release thanks for the video
This was by far the best and easiest way of replacing this!! Thank you so much ❤️ and it worked just the same for my verano
Thanks for this. Ordering me one right now and coming back to this when it arrives.
Exactly what I needed, straight to the point, thanks!
Outstandind video, Crazy how common this issue is....
Awesome video, saved me a lot of time! Thanks Ian!
Thank you for the help!
I thank you for the direction and my mother in law thanks you for the new shifter knob!!
im trying to figure out how to replace a buick 2016 verano gear shift but i cant find any videos telling me how
My trigger and spring broke, can’t move the gear from park …. & I have a 2015 Verano if that makes a difference
THANKS!!
Does it have to be in Neutral or can this be done with it in Park?
Thank you
Video on changing the shift boot
where did you find a replacement? is that an oem part if so what is the part #? thanks
eBay
It’s literally nothing on the internet about removing the center console. My keys fell through the cup holder
nice
Thanks dude! Looked through a lot of shit to find a video like this!
A mechanic actually almost ruined my shifting trying to replace this. ...smh
I’ve been pulling so hard and it won’t pop off what so ever!
I couldn't either and I ended up chiseling it off. It took forever!
Appreciate you making this video 👍
honestly replacing the damn shift knob with some pvc piping would be more useful than it
Is there anyway to get it off without the button mine is broken
