    Change the gear knob

    Anyone know how to do this?

    I just bought a brand new one, trying to work out how to get it on...

    Should just screw on, guess you already worked that out. If when you took the old one off, you didn't have to unscrew it, then the threaded sleeve is still on the stick and needs unscrewing.

    Yeah I think I'll do the same - this new one doesn't look as good as the original on there - it's a little smaller too...

    The one on there looks like leather, but this new one is very foamy is you know what I mean... Was yours the same?

    I can't remember mate it was ages ago now, if you do swap them remember to glue it into place or will rattle like hell, when mine did!
