Gear Knob Help
Underneath the original gear knob theres a white plastic part thats attatched to the metal gear stick. Do i take this off before fitting my new gear knob?
Any help will be great.

i think you just trim it down with a stanly knife.
i can remember somethink like this in the Haynes saxo manuel.

is the correct way to take it off.
he was asking if he needed to take the white bit off to fit a different one.

you keep it on.
just had a look in my book.
theres lugs on the side, you have to cut/trim them of, and slice the pointy bit off.
thats out of the saxo modification haynes manuel.

No.
Pliers, pulled the bugger off.
New one is nice, although slightly loose. A touch of glue, rubber washer etc will tighten it.
Its hard to say as I dont know what fittings you have.

i not the one fitting a new one.
