Guest Mattw205 Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Standard Gear knob badly cracked, looking to replace it (with stock) Iv been told that the gear knob doesnt come off of the lever and that you have to replace the whole lever? but then ebay has just the knobs for sale? (not the right ones either!) Does anyone know how you change it? any info appreciated thanks in advance Edited December 11, 2008 by Mattw205 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last Legend 0 Posted December 11, 2008 Awkward rather than hard,it feels like it 'should' twist off,but in reality as already posted it pulls off with a bit of twisting. there no thread to twist off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mattw205 Posted December 11, 2008 Ok so can twist either way? is it glued or just forced on tightly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdCherry 34 1 Cars Posted December 11, 2008 When I took the whole lever out, stuck it in a vice, little twist to the left 90 degrees and it popped straight off, wasn't even that tight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
