Just got a new gear stick leather cover but I need to get the knob off before replacing the old one.
I tried pulling it and twist it anti-clockwise but nothing...
Any tips guys?
Many thanks

You have to basically destroy it. It's moulded on with a pair of flattened lugs at the top of the shaft so you need to go at it with a hacksaw. Your other option if you were planning to fit the gaiter with the original knob is to detach the lever at the linkage end and slide it up. Actually not much more hassle than getting the moulded knob off, it's a pain of a job.
edit - actually you've got the interior rod change haven't you so getting to the base of the gearknob is much easier, it's just under the central console.

i did it with fallout and talon.. you have to be Very tough with it.. twist it as hard as you can and with enough force it will give.

then just tiger seal it back on. its what i did with Talons.

ape strength ftw :slayer:

will it help using an heat gun?

it may, but i dont think it would as its plastic that goes into it. just wrap a towel around it and use some rage strength in a twisting and upward motion. its worked for me twice!
