Literally just anti clockwise and eventually it will release

If you don't want to destroy the OEM gear knob (and the gear linkage) you have to get the whole gear lever housing off the car.

The gear knob is not screwed on. It sits on knurled bar at the end of the gear stick. You have to gently pull it off.

second that ^^^

It does require some brutal force to break the glue off

[jamiecrookston83]

My one didn't. As said. if you don't won't to burst the first one you have to gently prize it off.

thanks for the replys, ill have to try pulling it off, ive got a new one to put on and noticed that there is no threads on the inside, if its glued on when i put the new one now which type of glue do i need to use

[MatBrown]

Probably not much use to you but I blowtorch the gearstick below the knob and it then comes off easily.

What is the recommended glue to use when fitting a new one?
