I had the same trouble as you william. I ended up sawing mine off lol. Not sure if there is a 'proper' way to get them off, but I wasn't planning on keeping the old gear knob so I didn't really care how I got it off!

Mine was a wrench and a hammer. Has yours gone the same as mine, when you change gear and the knob comes off in your hand??? Wink

I got a td and the way I took mine off was by slicing it down the middle with a stanley knife. Piece of piss. That's as far as my knowledge goes on here! lol

No No I meant the actual ger knob rubber coming off, the stalk was still attached to the gear lever and needed a wrench to twist it off.

does the reverse lift up part come off with the knob or is that attached to the stick itself?
