I just got a dandy new stock shift knob but I can't get the beat-up leather covered one off. Of couse I don't know how it's attached (just bought the car) but assuming it used a stock crush washer should it just pull off? I probably should get a new crush washer before I cut the knob off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Always wanted a 914, finally got one. Please help the newbe. Nick |

You can use paper or felt (better) instead of a crush ring. Don't use tape. It gets gummy in very short time.
Cut 2 pieces of felt about the width of the diameter of the shift rod and 2 inches long. Lay them over the top of the rod so they form and "X". But the knob down over the top. It will be tight, its supposed to be. You can't see the felt, but it will hold the knob securely for years. Zach |
