Removing the shift knob is actually very simple if you have the Volvo "Spaceball" setup:
Just push down on the knob and rotate it counter clockwise about 90degrees then pull up to remove the knob from the shaft.
Depending on what type of shift knob you are replacing it with, installation of the new one may differ. See:

So that you don't shift the gear selector by accident
To change the gear shift in a 2004 Volvo S60, first ensure the vehicle is in "Park" and the ignition is off. Remove the trim around the gear shift by gently prying it up, then unscrew and disconnect any electrical connectors. Replace the gear shift assembly by reversing the process, ensuring everything is securely reconnected before reassembling the trim. Finally, test the new gear shift to ensure it functions properly.
How can you change the light bulb for the gear shift on a 2002 Toyota Camry?
Volvo is a great technology in vehicles. Shift light indicator mean the indication given, that the vehicle is now comfortable to shift the gear. For Example, the Volvo car is moving on 60 mph and you are moving on 4th gear the shift light indicator will blink reminding now you can shift a gear further mean you can move by gear 5.

A common problem with alot of Volvo's is the Overdrive. Basically the high gear. If it wont shift into high gear it means that the "Overdrive" is activated and won't shift into high gear. You need to see if there is a little upwards pointing arrow on your Dashboard Cluster. If there is then you need to replace your Overdrive Solenoid.

In Toyota rav4 2002 why the doors lock when shift the gear to P position?
Which gear - 1,2,3,4,5,6???
You must remove the instrument cluster to do so.
VERY CAREFULLY.
If the light for the gear shift on the console does not work on a 2002 Toyota Camry, it is probably a burned out bulb. The console will need to come off to access the bulb to change it. This part is held onto the console area by screws.
