gear knob ???@$%?@

[geo41e]

hey guyz...quick question...

how the F u get the gear knob off.??
to my knowledge..its just a simple twist right ?

not the previous owner fitted a typ r look a like gear knob on it..and also, the stick..(where the gear knob sits on) is a slight maron and shiny colour.
It also has a quick shift installed.

how do i take off thge gear knob??

[Dr4g0n]

twist...twist with all your might! (anti-clockwise)

could be one of those short shifters that have the gearknob already stuck on it...

[geo41e]

is there such thing ?

it won't budge man..geez..l really wanna take it off!

[eknine]

a few drops of WD40 and a good ole twist should do the trick, else it could be like what dr4gon mentioned - and that would be obvious to spot :)

[geo41e]

how would it be obvious ??
l mean..l'm really pulling this thing..and it ain't budging..look underneath the knob..theres a bkac seal?? rubber ring ??

[eknine]

if it one piece, it would be obvious to spot because its look all seal up and if its detachable, you don't have to be pulling coz you meant to be twisting it- i don't recall, calling on elephant strength to remove the knob ;)

or would you like to take a pix for a better idea of what your exasperation maybe ;)

[[[d a n n y]]]

yeah..

u just have to pull twist it..

that was the case with my old momo gear knob

[z3lda]

take the black shit off and there should be a little screw..use an allan key to get it out....i think...
my friend had the same promblem....some gear knobs are ghey

[A'PEXi]

try twist it clockwise and then hard anti-clockwise, just to rethread it

try twist it clockwise and then hard anti-clockwise, just to rethread it

[mo]

[ML]

is there like a metal ring around the base of the knob if so un screw that then there should be some allen keys if not do as above cut that shit off

[geo41e]

there ain't no allen key holes or anythig

soo stirred

[tanghy]

take a photo

Hmm if it's an alloy short-shifter and an el-cheapo type R knob copy, i'd say the knob has become threaded, and then he's ****ed it RIGHT up and then has had to glue it on with araldite or similar hard-core resin-based glue... have seen this knob problem on a mate's civic but thankfully he didnt glue it on.. but yeah like Tanghy Said, take a photo or we are all just guessing..

[geo41e]

the pictures turn out real blury coz i gotta crappo camera..only 1.3 megpix

it won't budge..there is a black silicon type seal....u rekon i should jus twist it real hard ?

no allan key holes or anything

[vti-2]

If it isn't coming off don't force it and totally **** things up. Take it to someone that will be able to remove it like a workshop.

[Savant]

put a cloth over it for protection then use multigrips.

[LatinoHatchCrap]

does it have a nut underneath the knob? you prob need an adjustable wrench to take it off.
