Swapping Gear Knob (Manual)

Postby geeegs » Tue Nov 05, 2019 11:17 pm

The leather on my gear knob had holes in it, so decided to peel it off, leaving a sticky residue beneath :roll:
Is an Auto gear knob a straight swap, or are the sizes of the shaft that it spins onto different? Didn't really want to part with the best part of £50 before finding out it might not fit.
Thanks,

Richard

Hi geeegs.
I'm pretty sure your gear knob pushes on.
The auto gear knob is a screw on one.
Take care.

Thanks, Andy!

I must apologise in that I have only just realised your reply!
