Changing gear knob

K666price · Dec 18, 2016

Been wanting to change the gear stick knob for a long time as it's made of some s**t crumbly stuff and looks naff, I've read you can hack away at it to get it off, so does anyone know the diameter or the stick to put an aftermarket on?

Don't do it [emoji85] But yeah, hack saw it off it needs be.

Phase 1 172 is the only alternative mate!! Fitted one to both of my Trophies.

Please don't fit aftermarket, they are all pants!!!

I've heard it's a messy old job, but so be it, the old one looked horrendous until I changed the insert

I've seen a few like this ^^

Can someone help? Ha

molegrips and twist. Hoover bits of ground plastic up. I fitted a richbrook aluminum one as I don't like the standard knob.

Quaife style, I just bought a black one. Don't get one with the bolt in the top like your pic though.

Good mate!

I fitted mine onto a scenic shifter so unsure if the shaft sizes are the same. I just got a 13mm drill piece and hand drilled it into it to make it bigger, fits on nice and snug.

Didn't think of that, even if I buy one with a thread on the inside I can bore it out [emoji23]

Quaife knobs are pretty cool, but they're all threaded and have no option for reverse selector.
