Hey guys,
This might sound really stupid, but my gear knob doesnt wanna come off.
Its a DC2R, the bolt at the bottom has been missing since i bought the car 2 years ago, so the actual knob is twisted right to the bottom. It may be threaded..
Has anyone ever had this problem, any ideas i could use to get the knob off?
I think you have to spin the knob to take it Out, like you taking a screw. That how my civic but also intgra should be the same
Wrap a hand towel around it , then twist this towel over a couple of times to "grip" the gearknob without damaging the surface. You should be able to grip it and twist it slowly off !
Otherwise you might have to damage the knobs surface removing it with more force.
Make sure you are rotating it the right way too ! Sitting in your seat - turn it counter clockwise to undo :-)
Yeah i've its pretty firm zzzz
Is it Oem or After market Gear Knob You should spin Left <.
are you using a little bit of power?
yeah its the OEM one, but without the bolt that sits underneath it, so its been spun all the way down lol
Try a moist towel around the gear knob and then put a shifter or clamp or something real tight like that with some leverage, if you can just un-nip it, it should be fine after.
Best of luck!
You can always drill it off! :P
lmao ben try wrapping it with rubber band for some extra grip. time for a gym membership!
thick rubber band is best.
Thats how skinny asians undo the pasta sauce jars.
