SOURCE: how do you remove a suzuki swift (2007) gear knob?

From memory you need to turn it counter-clockwise to unclick it and then pull off. You then need to cut off the plastic part left on the stick. Bear in mind that once you have done this you cannot put the stock one back on.

I was going to change mine too, but after driving with the stock one on I realised that it is a nicely weighted and comfortable anyway.

SOURCE: how to check gear box oil level

Remove the rock guard then look for the filler plug. Remove the plug and using your small finger, feel the level of the fluid. The fluid should be even with the bottom of the plug hole. If the fluid starts to ooze out when you open the plug, the level is alright.

This would be most likely the first noise of a wearing input shaft bearing. It will only get louder, and eventual failure of the bearing will probably mean catastrophic gearbox failure. It stops when you put your foot on the clutch because the gearbox stops spinning then, and it is quiet in 4th and 5th because there is no side loading (as there is in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd) on the failing bearing. It wouldn't matter what sort of car it was, the gearbox should be overhauled as soon as possible.

You may have an issue with the solenoid. This is the one that selects the gear for you. It is found inside the transmission and has wires coming out of it. It may be just dirty or needs repelacement.
