can you modify the vr gear knob?

[Aussie Revhead]

probably a stupid question but wont know unless i ask so here i go

i just HATE the vr auto gear knob and want to know if there is a way to swap it or modify it some how to let you put a vt or vx knob on it thanks guys

oh and also how do you remove it dont want to break anything

I put an aftermarket round manual style one on mine.

I removed the safety pin that protects you from changing gears accidentally (I am careful lol)

and shortened the length of the shaft to make it look a little nicer.

Took around 3-4 hours or work to get it all to sit right but was happy with the end result.


So yes you can put just about anything on there, depends how creative you are really :P


Not sure how other commodore shifters would fit on there though, I never really tried as I wanted something unique

Ive wanted to do the same thing. How do you remove the standard vs gear knob/selector?. Thanks guys

You peel the existing knob off like a banana Peel, its not clipped in or anything...should come straight off.

The selector pin you will need to somehow cut to remove, unless you want to take the whole shaft out to remove it which is an ordeal.

I used a hacksaw to both shorten the shaft and cut through the selector pin at the same time (killing 2 birds with 1 stone)

theres a shear pin in the lower part of the shifter knob. carefully knock it out and then look to see what will fit
