Runtman Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hey I bought this gear knob off a user here, thinking it would fit fine, but I have ran into a few problems. First of all notice the size difference of the 2 knobs. One on the left, being the one I bought and the one on the right being the standard escort knob. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/knobs.jpg Now is there a way to remove this black thing off the gear stick? I tried brute force and got no where. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/thng.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/runtrunt/car/thng2.jpg I feel if I remove that, then I will easily be able to slot on the new gear knob. I honestly thought they would of been the same size.. silly me. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_2f2f Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) That thing still on the gear stick is part of the old gear knob, just screw it off, the old gear knob is just ultra f**ked lol. Turn it anticlockwise till it comes off, then just put the new one on and screw clockwise, simples... Edited March 10, 2010 by Lee_2f2f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchkev Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 unless you have a lift up reverse, the knob, as lee said should mearly twist off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runtman Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 I loosened it with pliers, and now I am twisting and twisting and it will not come off, I think the thread is gone or something, I can sit there and twist it anti clock wise all day but it will not budge, I even tried lifting up whilst twisting and that makes no difference, yet a few twists clockwise and it will lock in. Maybe I can saw it off? I honestly can't see it budging any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
