EK Gear knob (gear stick)

[TypeRice]

hey guys/girls

is taking off this gear knob easy???

i have an aftermarket metal silverish one .. and i dont like it..
i want to take it off and find a stock black gear knob to put back on

i turns very easily both directions.. i tried on turning it counter clockwise.. but it just keeps on turning.. but doesnt come out.. and i can turn clockwise same thing.. the knob just keeps turning like forever.. and im scared to just pull it off coz it might be screwed on or sumfing...

deepends on your gear knob, but some gear knobs have these tiny little bolts on the bottom of the gear knob which you need to undo first, then u turn the gear knob left to loosen it, keep going till it feels like its going to go no where then just POP pull it out. and then put ur stock one back on.

It should just unscrew counter clockwise...

I also have a stock gear knob for you if you are interested

its got screws on it probably... wat gear knob u gonna put on after u remove this one?

most likely has like screw things on the bottom preventing it from coming off. i had the problem before and ended up hacksawing the whole knob off. NOT sawing the gearstick of course.

Certain brands of knobs also use up to 4 hex key screws to hold the knob in place. Loosen that first and then pull the knob up.

my old sparco one wasl ike that.. (wif the hex)

or u kud try pulling+turning it counter clockwise...
as some knobs are held on wif rubber end tips and may b a bit tough...
hafing sed that i used thick tape to make the tip 'thicker' then screwing it on..
