Can anyone link me to a guide to fitting one

Superglue? It's threaded inside and has the screws to hold it in place and does the original one not screw off?
No the original is not screwed, you'll have to thread the original one to get it to work, good luck!
Nope, they're all glued on and need to be hacked off,
unless you've got a ph1 172, pretty sure those one's unscrew.

Thanks, probably the only helpful reply I've had, how long do you think it would take?
Renault Clio 1.2 16V
I didn't mean the original one is threaded I meant the momo one
God knows, i've never tried cutting one off.
If I was you i'd get another gearstick from a breakers yard to try it on,
I mean you've got to hack the old knob off, then make a thread for the end of the stick,
I wouldn't want to try it on the stick I use every day to drive to work and sh*t.
When I meant original one, I meant the actual gear stick (youll have to thread it somehow), but I failed at replying correctly

So get a new stick from the breakers, put it in the car and put the new knob on that?
That does sound more practical tbh haha

Ohh really? I thought the the actual stick was threaded haha yeah I'll probably just get a threaded one from somewhere or glue it on haha
Whichever Mk2 Clio stick you get you'll still have to make a thread for the end of it,
unless you can find a Ph1 172 gear stick.

Alright yeah I get you now do you know of any aftermarket sticks that will fit? Already threaded of course

If you know someone with a thread tapping tool you can make a thread for the end of the stick.

It's called a ' die ' Dave
Thread tapping is a tap

We'll if I kept my can on the other side of the hedge , I wouldn't have to use a die to know what one is

Alright thanks for your help
Debatable.
I can see why you'd be jealous,
if I looked like a boiled egg i'd take it out on people with fantastic hairstyles too.

I'm guessing the grub screws are the small ones that need an allen key

I know, it probably won't be worth it but just personal preference a the end of it

Wont ever be as cool as mine in my old MK1 with its flashing blue LEDS! haha
In all seriousness though, if its anything like the one i fitted to the mk1, you do need to butcher the knob off the shaft (oy oy! ) and then the grub screws bit into the shaft nicely. I never had a problem with mine, except when the LEDs stopped working! I was gutted hahahaha!

So I've got to beat my knob until it falls off and then screw my new knob onto my shaft :| hahaha! I think I'll order a clio knob before I start hacking at the old one, guess I'm gunna have to have to Hoover handy as well

That's cool! Are they metallic blue floor mats I see?
Clio 172
Oh yes they were, RipSpeed as well I will have you know!
They worked a charm with the the Blue LED foot well lights I had fitted in the front and rear..and boot! The gear knob had blue LEDs as well and i replaced all the interior bulbs with blue at the time! haha. It was my first car and I bloody loved it!
It was a right beast! 1.2 oasis! haha.
