| Gear knobs.... i know this comes up a lot!! I have got a 2001 punto mk2 and want to change gear knob.... is this same way as mk1 where it has to be cut?? if that is case then how is it done exactly[?] Also have been looking for parts on ebay and, this may seem a stupid question with very obvious answer, but once you sent the seller the money how can i be sure i get stuff sent to me[?][?] Thanks in advance, paul :D Despite what the name says I now drive a punto!

Anyway happy ebaying Mike

| __________  | Before buying on ebay check the users feedback to see if they are good or bad, if they have thousands of good feed back and only 1-6 bad they should be ok. When buying your new knob look on ebay for the special ones for lift up reverce they are diffrent.

 | Re: Gear knobs.... i know this comes up a lot!! I have recently changed the gear knob in my mk2 punto. You dont need to cut the stick, however it would provide a slightly better finish. I chose not to cut mine and when the lift reverse part is fully down, there is a very small gap. It can be overcome by simply taking about 0.5-1cm off the top. It doesnt bother me, so i just leave it as it is  In regards to ebay, if you pay for items via paypal and do not receive the item you may open up a dispute this goes against the seller and 9 times out of 10 sees either the item delivered or your money returned. It can also lead to the user at fault being banned from using the site. Im happy to say ive never had a problem whilst using ebay!
