My old one screws off, It was on quite tight (like someone didn't want me to take it off....), try giving it a hard twist. It may be a case of being attached to the stick so don't go yanking!.

Hi

What thread is on the end of the gear change lever. If its difficult to remove I would rather have one ready before I destroy my old one removing it.

I'm pretty sure that its M10x1.25, I'm going in to work tomorrow so I will check the tap then.
My original nissan knob unscrewed by hand, well two hands, and some effort.

Doesn't your long knob (haha) break the screen when changing gear? I bet that moves miles, not exactly a racing change

It doesn't move "that" much. Biggest issue with is it is that when in 5th its only just clear of my hand on the steering wheel.

No Idea. I dont know what it could fail on. I'm sure my tester would tell me when I took it round if it was going to, so I'd just unscrew it and stick the ally knob back on. He passed my previous ride three times when it was rolling on cut coils, so he's clearly one of the level headed sort.

What is there to be embarrased about?

No he didn't "let me off" his judgement of the case through his interpretation of the wording is that the springs were complete, - they fitted with no signs of breakage or poor manufacture, and they were identical from one side of the car to the other.

It's no longer than a transit gear lever. Anyways, since when has having a long knob been embarrassing.

Sorry MSC members, I know this is childish humour but I couldn't help myself
