cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 7m 22d Posted 14/03/03 08:11 AM Share Posted 14/03/03 08:11 AM This may be a silly question, but, does the manual gear nob in the BA Falcon just screw off like normal old cars? And if so, is it just a standard type thread? I am looking at an aftermarket nob for my car when it gets here.

Will take a bit of unscrewing, but is same thread as AU XR when you get it off.

I have it booked in on Tuesday to have it looked at. I am looking forward to getting a new knob that is quieter. It also gets bloody hot in the sun!

I would hate to twist to hard and bust the stick or something stupid like that!

That would be the metal insert that holds the boot rattling on the stick. I popped the boot and put a rubber 'O' ring between the two. Worked well.
