Part description

The used gear lever head with sleeve is intended for Citroën C3 II A51 and DS3 cars. Due to the design of CARLA – V210 HZD – BLACK MISTRAL, it is a part that is suitable as a replacement for a worn or aesthetically damaged original piece. The advantage is that the cuff is undamaged, which facilitates replacement and helps preserve the original appearance of the interior.

This car part is also often searched by serial number, so we list 2403CL and 7591CC. It is important for mechanics and do-it-yourselfers that this is a complete shift head assembly with sleeve, which can solve both visual wear and worse comfort when operating the shift.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for this type of part, the exact procedure for replacing the shifter head with sleeve may vary depending on the specific interior design and mounting method. Below is a practical general procedure for replacing this type of part.

1) Before assembly

• Check the condition of the used head and cuff, especially the wear of the surface, the strength of the attachment and the integrity of the cuff seams.
• Compare the new and original part by head shape, cuff design, color, attachment method and product numbers.
• Check for damage to the internal attachment mechanism of the head or cuff frame.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• plastic crowbar for dismantling interior parts
• basic set of hand tools
• clean cloth
• preparation for gentle cleaning of surrounding plastics
• protective gloves

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Secure the vehicle against movement and prepare a working area around the gear lever.
2. Carefully loosen the cuff frame or center tunnel cover if the design requires it.
3. Remove the cuff from the storage so as not to damage the plastic latches or the surrounding trim.
4. Dismantle the original shifter head. With this type, it is usually necessary to proceed carefully and evenly so as not to damage the fastening.
5. Compare the dismantled part with the used spare part and check the fit and the overall design match.
6. Clean the contact surfaces and the area around the shift lever from dust and dirt.
7. Place the new cuff in the correct position relative to the frame or surrounding trim.
8. Sit the head on the shift lever so that it sits straight and without play.
9. Secure the head in a manner appropriate to the design of the car and the part, without using excessive force.
10. Place the cuff back into the frame or center tunnel and check that all latches are properly seated.
11. Test the movement of the shift lever in all positions without starting and observe whether the cuff is pulling or twisting anywhere.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Check that the head is tight and does not show excessive play.
  • Check that the cuff is properly seated and does not pinch when the lever is moved.
  • During the test drive, observe the comfort of the gear shift and make sure that the new part does not limit the normal control of the transmission.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Forcible disassembly of the original head – may damage the attachment or the surrounding plastics. Always proceed evenly and carefully.
  • Poor fit of the cuff – leads to twisting or detachment. Check for correct orientation before final snapping.
  • Insufficient comparison of parts – different design can cause malfunction or loose fitting.
  • Damage to interior plastics – use a suitable plastic pry bar instead of metal tools.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • normal wear and tear from everyday shifting
  • peeling or abrasion of the head surface due to use
  • damage to the cuff due to friction, age of the material or careless handling
  • release of the head after previous unprofessional disassembly
  • mechanical damage to the interior during repairs or transportation
