Napalm Member 25 Member For: 20y 6d Posted 26/03/11 12:23 AM Share Posted 26/03/11 12:23 AM Morning all. I have had my BA XR6T since 2003 and the standard gear knob is worn. Just want to add a standard after market but cant seem to get it to undo. Is there some trick to it or should it just unscrew like any other? Any tips would be appreciated.

However...Takes the strength of ten men, a vice, sometimes the application of heat, and generally you will leave the original knob damaged in some way if you aren't really carefull.

Napalm Member 25 Member For: 20y 6d Posted 26/03/11 04:05 AM Author Share Posted 26/03/11 04:05 AM Yep your right. Had to remove he whole gear lever so I could stick it in the vice. Used a plumber wrench to unscrew. Original gear know now stuffed. Next question. How do you replace the leather shift lever cover. Looks like its all one piece which would have to be replaced (ie the plastic cover that adjoins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
