So I was trying to remove the stock shift knob to replace the boot to no avail. However I did notice some movement but it wasn't from the knob. I've seemed to of broken the silicon or glue holding the smaller shift shaft into the thicker one (sorry I don't know the proper names). Now the two shafts rotate freely with little effort about not 360 but a fair good distance. Have I f*cked it and I need to buy a new stick or is there some way to fix it?

Its the two piece shaft... Ive had a peek and there doesn't seem to be any threads (or ruined ones) Just a smooth shaft glues into a larger one. But if you still think that's the case then looks like I'm off to the wreckers or fraud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember there being two pieces in the shaft... just a metal shaft with threads with glue on it then the knob screwed onto that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also try with a oil filter strap tool, but I had no luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey mate hopefully you get this, I was hoping to put a different knob on it, if I remove just the knob I should be able to just screw the new one on?
