Replacing gear knob (AUTO)

Ugly Mongrel · **April 02, 2011, 07:03:31**

I'm thinking of tarting up Lubricious a bit with a new gear knob but cannot get the existing one to budge. Any ideas???

Unscrew the gear knob to the left, the screw is normal metric, M12 X 1,25. I made changes.

Repeat, i don`t speak english well. Sorry!

its not hard to remove! ive had mine off a few times to fit the CB, and speaker for my UHF

i just noticed um's car is an automatic and not a manual.

well lets start again,does anyone know how to remove the gear shift knob from an automatic ?

agentr31 · **Reply #8: May 04, 2011, 13:10:44**

yer probably screw driver, there would be a screw behind it or in the side if its like most autos, if its like the maxima then its a window winder clip hidden under a trim at the base...

agentr31 · **Reply #9: May 04, 2011, 13:12:21**

im kinda expecting this!!!

I had a look for both a locking screw or clip and there are none. On the auto, from what I ca see, the gear knob appears to be part of the gear shifter shaft.

Any more ideas....and no more funny stuff argentr

Waja · **Reply #17: May 07, 2011, 09:20:52**

but on a bit of a more serious note, looking at http://www.koreanautoimports.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=31_529_201&products_id=850 there appears to be clips and a possible screw/allen key hole in the centre? I have no idea how you intend on getting the clips out but maybe you can contact KAI and see if they can scan the instructions since you *cough* are interested in purchasing this item from them but want to know how to go about it first *cough*

Ugly Mongrel · **Reply #18: May 07, 2011, 09:52:24**

Thanks WaJa. From the KAI pics, it looks like the chrome cover screws off to reveal the clips that hold the gear knob in place. I'll check it out and post back. BTW...the prices on their website are bloody expensive.

It's not very lifelike....

And is that a man's 300mm or a woman's?

agentr31 · **Reply #20: May 07, 2011, 14:14:43**

just 300mm of straight up gear knob!

Worried your hand might keep slipping off, rustynutz

Where does the extra seat belt mount when you turn it into a 6 seater?

Me suspects ithurtydeesl is thinking somone might be sitting on the gearshift, so would need seatbelts...yes?

In that case fairly secure without a seatbelt

my wife's cw is an auto,i sussed it out the other day and cant see how it comes off.

[but i didn't want to break anything trying]
