Just been to the local scrappy, found a bashed 172, with the intention of removing the gearlever. (I'm looking to fit an 8-ball as a gearknob and don't want to butcher the knob I already have)
How the hell do you get the thing out? After removing the centre console and the heating ducts, I could only see two nuts. It looks like the big nylon box that the lever/balljoint combo is mounted in is bolted through from underneath. Is this the case, as I'll never get one out of a scrap car as there's no room underneath to retrieve it?
I guess it was wishful thinking that it'd be simple unclip, 2 minute job like it is in a Vectra...
Any help appreciated.
