Remoing R34 Gtr Gear Knob

[Turbo Piston]

I went last night to remove my gear knob, couldnt see in the dark but it didnt seem to be a twist and turn thing. Is there more invoilved in removing the gear knob?

I think there's a small allen key you need to undo a screw right down the bottom of the knob, then you can turn it anti-clockwise to remove it. I will check the stock knob I took off already tomorrow.

Anyone?

I can't seem to get mine off! There is no allen key, It's just a hollow hole below the gear knob.

well has your car ever had a gearbox overhaul? clutch?

because that hollow hole should be an allen key bolt/screw.

ive noticed most mechanics either lose it or dont bother to put it back on.

otherwise how firmly did you turn it? unless its been sealed with Loctite?

I placed an allen key through that hollow hole and nothing happened. Nothing opened up or anything.

I just got it off, what a mission. Grabbed a jumbo shifter and twisted it, it was sealed with Loctite!

exactly..... just what i thought

well the allen key was missing thats why

loctite is good, cause there is nothing worse than having a knob that is wobbily whilst driving

what are u gonna put on now?

Mine is wobbly, might have to loctite the mofo

Couldnt you just wrap some teflon tape around it?

Cheaper and lets you get it back off again later

how much did that cost you? 150$?

and did it come with the allen key bolt/screw?

teflon tape..... is probably not the best thing

because if the plastic around the female thread of the knob is worn.... your just gonna keep cross threading it...

im a plumber and i deal with teflon all the time.. with plastic fittings/threads , should use liquid instead

allan key bolt has dissapeared!

allan key bolt has dissapeared!

[Turbo Piston]

Where can you buy a new genuine gear knob from?

If I buy aftermarket is it a 10mm or 12mm thread? thanks
