Gear Knob - How to remove

Post by mrdeli » Tue Nov 27, 2007 1:22 pm

Does anyone know whether the gear knob just unscrews to remove it - or is it more complicated? Thanks

If it is a screw off knob it will give way before you start applying enough pressure to break things. Every car i have owned has been twist off.

I don't think it does after seeing the gear shifer assembly without the gear knob fitted; there is no screw thread on the shaft. I think there must be a grub screw on the gear knob facing the dashboard.
