Re: New Shift Knob

["M. Rogan" <brewtail@mediaone.net>]

I put a sparco aluminium shifter on mine. this is what you do. Pop the
whole piece covering the entire shifter off. It comes off fairly easy.
Next, turn the boot inside out. There is a silver ring with four small
tabs holding the actual knob to the leather boot. Take a very small standard
screwdriver like the ones electricians use and pry the four tabs back carefully.
the knob should then just slide out. Unfortunately the silver ring stays
with the knob so all that is left is the leather boot.
    To secure the boot  to the shifter put the
knob on the shifter and mark it with a light grease pencil or something
similar. After the mark take the knob back off. With the boot inside out
slide it down until the edge of the leather is even with the line. then
take a small zip tie and tighten the boot to the shifter. Then pop the
cover back in place and put your new knob on. If you ever want to replace
the original knob you can as long as you didn't break too many of the silver
tabs off.
    Hope this helps. If there are any questions feel
free to contact me.

Hey guys,  I want to replace the stock shift Knob with a MOMO POLISHED
ALUMINUM
Shift knob and a new boot.  However I see that the stock shift knob is one
unit with the leather sleeve.  How do I take this off?
Thanks
