3. Use a thin screwdriver to unlock the plastic part from the DSG gear shift
Insert the screwdriver behind those two ears and widen them just a bit to lift it up.

Check them both to see where the DSG gear knob button remain locked on outside.
6. Pull out the DSG gear knob button pushing it from the right side
You will need to pull the DSG knob button out until you see the metal piece inside the shifter drop off the blue shaft.
If the button does not stay locked on the outside, then you will need to use a thin and flat screwdriver to push that metal piece (indicated by the red arrow) out of the blue shaft.
