Turbogirlie 0 Posted August 22, 2005 How do you change the gear knob on a 92 Corrado? With the Scirocco, they are threaded and I tried to unscrew it. Obviously unsuccessful. Only concern is that the gear lever now rotates - have I buggered something? Should I continue to turn it clockwise to try and undo any unknown harm? Sorry for inane question. :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Should just unscrew, there is a circlip that seperates the gaiter from the knob itself IIRC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VEEDUBBED 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Same thing,just un-screw the knob anti clockwise,hoping that the knob's thread isn't bu@@ered... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted August 22, 2005 ...unless you've got an after market knob, in which case it'll use a collection of allen-head stubby screws that screw into the side of the gear stick itself. If it's a Momo knob, the ring at the bottom of the knob un-screws to reveal the screws holding it on. You're then free to screw whatever knob you like... on to the stick. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turbogirlie 0 Posted August 23, 2005 It is an after market knob which is leather, has no markings on it and comes down the shaft a fair amount. I prefer the original which was given to me with the car. Haven't noticed any allen head screws into the side of the gear stick so maybe it's a Momo knob - sorry but all new to me so a bit double dutch! Should I be worried that the shaft is rotating when I tried to unscrew the knob? Getting a hot flush now, talking about knobs and shafts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarlett 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Could you not take a piccie of it and post it up? I'm sure someone will recognise it and know how to remove it... Getting a hot flush now, talking about knobs and shafts! Rudeness...!!!!!!!!!! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted August 23, 2005 There's gotta be some allen bolts there somewhere holding it in... have you lifted the gaitor right up to see if they're underneath that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turbogirlie 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Did that, no bolts. I'll take Scarletts advice and put a pix on the site another night to see if anyone recognises it... will plod on and see if we can overcome! Have just arranged to buy a manual on CD from Chris via Ebay so that'll be a big help I hope! (PS - many thanks again!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
