dbaker Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 All, I ordered a final edition gear knob as an upgrade for my '99 Esprit. Now I must figure out how to remove the existing one. Does it unthread, pull off, or something much less obvious? Has anyone done this swap who would like to share their experience? Thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbaker Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Sweet - that sounds easy enough. Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbaker Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Still looking for assistance on this one folks. There's no setscrew or any other fastener holding the knob onto the shaft. I've taken the shaft out completely and I still can't figure out how the knob is attached. Has anyone removed the shift knob on a post '98 V8?

Advantage Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Have a look at the underside of your new knob. Is it threaded, ridged for a circlip etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbaker Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I finally figured it out. The knobs are pressed onto splines on the shaft. Pretty simple once you know how it goes together. I just used a large spanner as a fork and after a couple of whacks from a dead blow hammer it popped right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardRoark Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 On that note, does anyone know where I can get a leather gear shift cover for the aluminum ball? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
