i have heard someone say they struggled so much getting the gear knob off that they ended up only changing the cap on top as that was the only bit they really needed..

ive managed to fit it, it was easy to get of i used a stanley knife a cut a series of cuts an ripped the thing off. but i was left with a plastic capping so i just got the coping saw on it and wrenched it off with a pair of grips. and then just slowly hammered the b*****d thing on.

now ive got a nice black knob in my hand, and now i know what gear im in lol :clown:
