Hi Guys,

I have a beautiful 2003 plate GT spyder and I am trying to ascertain how to change the manual gearknob.

I have read elswhere that it simply pulls off but mine doesn't seem too keen to come off.

Does the car need to be in neutral?

Do you need to lift the collar that puts the car into reverse at the same time?

My gearknob really doesn't want to come off and I don't want to break it - do you just have to be brutal to get it to move?

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Ben

I pulled and pulled as hard as I could when I took mine off. It popped off alright....but I punched myself and had a bruise on my face for a week.

You can try to twist it a little to help break it loose. Its held on by a little dab of glue.

Thanks Ace!

Do you need any special glue to re-attach?

Cheers

I put a "dab" of superglue just to keep it from twisting.
