Did you unplug both batteries before attempting to change the gear knob? I’ve heard stories from people attempting without disconnecting the batteries and they had to replace the entire console.(they also had to tow the car to the nearest dealership since it’s not engaging gears)

Usually, aftermarket crystal shifters do not require additional programming. Power it up after you install it and everything will be ok. So did you disconnect the power before installation?
