Hello

Just wondering if anyone's had any problems when changing thier gear knob?
I cant seem to get mine off???
Shouldnt they just twist off, i mangened to twist it so numbers are upside down but thats as far as it wants to go.

Can anyone help as really want to ditch my boring gear knob and change it with my new one :wall:

pull the fucker really hard, take a large hacksaw to it, it will come off eventually

on a 106 you dont have to twist it all the way off?.. you turn it a bit and then pull it up ( tryin not to smack urself in the head)

i'm pretty sure all the saxo gear knobs are on the same way. if so, all u gotta do is grip the fucker tight and pull up as hard as you can lol

when i changed my gear knob i found that it helped if it was a really hot day because the rubber pulled off alot easier then i just put it in 4th and yanked the fuker off!
