| '53 Black Barchetta  | Replacing Barchetta gear knob I am new to this having acquired a 53 plate black B a few weeks ago. I'm not that keen on modifying as I like the Barchetta the way it is but I do like to "improve", you know, strip things out, clean them, replace with better stuff etc. Anyone any ideas on how best to replace the gear knob? I don't want to damage the linkage with brute force!! Thanks for your help.

 | Re: Replacing Barchetta gear knob welcome to forum. for replacing gear knob you have to be strong.  Because it is all covered with leather i cut this leather. And then open roof, put left leg to left side of car, right leg to right side of car, then use you strength to pull it out... when pulling try to little rotate. and most important thing: for god's sake watch you teethes. i can post you picture how it looks when is removed.

Nope - haven't played with the B for more than two weeks now...  Gives me plenty of time to play with other things though
