Report post #1 Posted 22/06/20 03:38 AM Hey everyone. So I was trying to remove the stock shift knob to replace the boot to no avail. However I did notice some movement but it wasn't from the knob. I've seemed to of broken the silicon or glue holding the smaller shift shaft into the thicker one (sorry I don't know the proper names). Now the two shafts rotate freely with little effort about not 360 but a fair good distance. Have I f*cked it and I need to buy a new stick or is there some way to fix it?

Report post #2 Posted 22/06/20 03:40 AM sounds like you've ruined the threads on the stick if it's spinning around and you've broken the glue... best off getting a replacement stick now. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Report post #3 Posted 22/06/20 04:38 AM Its not the knob that's spinning that's still stuck on tight. Its the two piece shaft... Ive had a peek and there doesn't seem to be any threads (or ruined ones) Just a smooth shaft glues into a larger one. But if you still think that's the case then looks like I'm off to the wreckers or fraud Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Report post #4 Posted 22/06/20 04:47 AM hmm... I can't remember there being two pieces in the shaft... just a metal shaft with threads with glue on it then the knob screwed onto that... Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could also try with a oil filter strap tool, but I had no luck with it. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey mate hopefully you get this, I was hoping to put a different knob on it, if I remove just the knob I should be able to just screw the new one on?

Report post #11 Posted 20/10/20 06:32 AM Yeah, any knob with the same thread will just screw on no worries. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Report post #12 Posted 20/10/20 07:45 AM The knob is glued on heavily... best way to go about it is remove the surround after unbolting the actual shifter arm, then slowly warm it up in an oven then use a vice with a bunch of tea-towels around it and some pliers to get it to start to turn. It won't be easy. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
