When i bought my car it came with some old worn out momo gear knob, thats metal and its freezing in the cold mornings! lol it just looks out of place.

So im looking for a good conditioned origonal valver/williams gear knob.

Anyone?

Have you tried Renault?

Dont know, im sure from fitting an aftermarket one before its a matter of putting on a base rubber on the stick, then forcing the knob on it then fastening it with a screw, but not sure what OEM ones are like.

I need to find a way to get this momo one of lol! from what it looks like theres 8 allen key screws to remove, if not, im going to try and pull it off and will probably end up out the back window! ha

8 screws to hold it on doesn't sound likely - sounds like they are for effect on the top part of the knob? There's often a collar on the knob at the bottom just where it meets the shaft. If you unscrew this then there is usually a single allen key bolt underneath that holds the knob onto the shaft that you would need to unscrew.

The gearnobs are a friction fit, just put a bit of glue in the gearnob hole before you put it on and it will be rock solid for ages.
