Re: Gear knob

tsk you should have asked before buying. you need an omp adaptor(bout £10) for the push reverse to work as is,but these only really fit omp gearknobs. what i did was cut down the original shaft and fitted the gear knob on there, to select reverse i actually grab the collar of the old shaft and push down.

always meant to mod it to work as OE but got used to it and never bothered

Re: Gear knob

yes OMP are a make.........I've also heard on here that Sparco and Isotta fit on the adaptor aswell as the OMP ones. You can buy the adaptor online from here http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog...roducts_id=328

Exactly wat i've done, good to lean on the stick in heavy traffic without it pushing down lol, Wat i did was the collar that usually screws on to the gear nob i bought is now wat i pull down to push on the old shaft, I shaved off the thread using a dremal on the collar and gearnob so it can freely slid up and down activating the push down bit.
