How do I remove the gear knob on my tjet, I would like to shorten the length of the leaver but keep the standard leather knob?

I managed to get it off last night just after I posted this but thanks for your help anyway!! 
, I work in a metal shop so I plan on making a shaft to slip over the remaining lever (cutting it down), grub screw it on and slip it all back together, that way I have short throw with standard knob graiter etc

Well I now have a sleeve made up and it's ready to fit after work, I got a bit of 20mm tube cut down to 70mm, drill and tapped 2holes m6 for the bolts to hold it on and welded a bolt to the top of the tube, I did mess up the bolt needs to be 70mm long mines 35 so welded a bit of stud to the top to make up the length! Pictures will be up tonight of what I made before and after!! This forum needs tapatalk!! Would be so much easier on an iPhone!!
with standard knob graiter etc

Sorry mate but negative comments not welcome! I had an idea I have tried it and it bloody works! It looks standard rather than a tacky aftermarket knob and grater but one heck of a lot lower! If you don't like what I am doing to MY car then don't read or leave comments at www.mypuntosperfect.com

I'm pretty sure his quip was more a smutty pun than a criticism!
Do you find any leverage problems with a shorter stick?

Seems you have lost you sense of humour mate - i was refering to your "grater" whereas i think you mean gaiter.:shakehead:
Even though my comments were not negative, you cannot expect everyone to agree with you - thats why it's a forum.
