VR Gear Knob

[benhawkins]

Hey guys,
I wanna replace my VR Auto gear knob with a better one, are the gear knobs able to be taken off in anyway other than force?

To remove the knob it is not really a matter of force - more a case of finesse.

Grab the knob at the bottom, towards the back and pull back up and over the top of the stick - a little bit of jiggling also helps.

They are available aftermarket in leather woodgrain look and carbon fibre look that I know of - about $90, but IMHO the don't look real flash. The best I reckon is genuine - there is a hsv one - with logo, and I think a leather one from the statesman (?) that look schmick - dunno about cost\availability though.

If your knob looks cruddy cause it's used/abused - get a stock genuine one off ebay - about $30. I bought a complete selector unit and asked the guy to just post me the knob, and he only charged postage on the knob.

Absolutely. Easy as.

Not at all.

That's the one - they look better than the $90 ones off ebay.

This is gonna sound really stupid but are there aftermarket gear nobs for an auto commo, or can you only use the senentor, statesman etc gear nobs...

cheers
