Renault Talisman (1st generation): Gear Shift Knob Replacement

Replacing the gear shift knob on the Renault Talisman is a simple procedure that does not require disassembling the center console. The factory knob is attached to the shift lever pin with a retaining ring. It fits all 1st-generation versions (2015-2022) — the design is the same for manual and automatic transmissions (the part numbers differ).

Difficulty: Easy Time: 5-10 minutes Steps: 6 Tools: None required (a flat-head screwdriver may occasionally be needed for the retaining ring)

Part

  • 🔩 Manual transmission — Renault 328654845R, automatic transmission — Renault 328650419R (aftermarket equivalents are available online; confirm the OE part with your supplier)

Step by step

6 steps
  1. Grip the leather (or plastic) boot at the base of the knob and pull it down along the lever to expose the mounting.
  2. Locate the retaining ring (a metal clip or spring clamp) on the pin under the knob.
  3. Squeeze or spread the retaining ring with your fingers (or pry it with a flat-head screwdriver) and remove it from the pin.
  4. Pull the knob upward — it will come off the pin.
  5. Slide the new knob onto the pin and reinstall the retaining ring (it should snap into the groove).
  6. Slide the boot back up until it seats fully against the new knob.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • If you choose a non-OE knob, check the height and the diameter of the fitting — some aftermarket versions may be shorter than the factory knob. Before buying, confirm the part number by VIN or make sure the knob is compatible with your transmission type (6-speed manual or automatic).
