Gear knob

[Chris310185]

Is it easy to change on a 52 plate clio? If so how????

Cheers

pull it like mad - its a press fit onto the gear shifter - be careful though

cut the old one off with a hacksaw, pulling it is ok but you may damage the actual gear stick and dislodge it, best to cut it as you wont damage anything

dont bother gettin a new one is my advice!

my m8 did it on his 03 corsa (has the same lift up reverse gear selection) and his just keeps coming loose to the extent that if u pull it really hard to drop the box and rev the powerful 1.2 sxi then the gear knob comes clean off and u have to complete the change with the bear metal pole!

1. Take of the rubber cover.

2. Go to Halfords or B&Q and Ask for Mole Grips

3. Grip it and twist and off it pops, no mess! Simple!
