Without mullering mine trying to get it off.   Does anyone know if its possible to run a different gearknob?    The original one just feels a bit wierd in my hand,  And ive got another in mind.

Just i expect ill lose the lil pull up for reverse thing?  Or does that stay there with the knob off? Huh

for easy removal of old gearknob place gearstick in a pot of boiling water (gearknob in the water) leave for a few mins remove from water, cover with towel and pull off with ease
