Ryan 99 Posted March 5, 2012 The end of the gearstick is barbed, so it doesn't unscrew as such, but if you twist it back and forth while pulling then it should come off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harryskid 193 Posted March 5, 2012 I don't have trouble getting them off, its keeping the bast**ds on. On my last rally the bloody thing came off three times ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stufarri 98 3 Cars Posted March 6, 2012 James, I replaced my gaiter by carefully pulling it over the gearknob, so no need to remove it - is it one of those £8 ebay leather ones? If so they fit over the 'knob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtdog 4 Posted March 18, 2012 If the knob is anything like mine then it won't come off no matter how hard you twist and pull.. I had to cut mine off! The one i'm replacing it with came off a 206 stick very easily though.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harryskid 193 Posted March 18, 2012 I've glued mine with gripfill and it seems ok at the moment. Hope it don't come off in my hand midstage !. O thats sounds bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
