    Usually it comes out with the entire trans when replacing the RMS.

    Re: Quick question re gear shifer

    u mean I cant change a simple gear knob without taking out the whole drivetrain!?!!

    what about those P dealer fitted gearknobs? i m sure they wont need to take out the whole thing just to change a knob??

    Go to B&M shifter . com website.

    They have (had?) DIY instructions on how to remove shift knob.

    Last I heard you have to get an Arnold Schwarznegger-type buddy to pull it straight up and off.

    Warning: There might also be a teeny set screw which would make Arnold go into a 'roid rage.

    When Clarkson did it on Top Gear he simply pulled straight up and it came off..He did it intentionally of course to make Porsche look bad, which is his M.O. when testing anything Porsche.

    Re: Quick question re gear shifer

    The shift knob almost certainly pulls off or unscrews. As I don't have my car yet, I cannot say what mechanism it uses.

    I'd make sure you find out how, before you attempt to do so, so you don't mistakenly damage anything.

    It yanks off. No set screw shown in parts catalog.

    Go for it!

    Yup, just pulls off. It takes some force I understand.

    Re: Quick question re gear shifer

    Thats the important bit.... there is a locking ring under there that engages the slot in the actual stick. Pulling the cover up lets you get at the ring, rotate it 90 deg and then the thing should just pull straight up by the knob.

    HaHa.

    Re: Quick question re gear shifer

    Also, when men find that the sufficient application of force solved their problem, they feel perfectly ok about that solution being 'the correct process' and will gladly repeat that procedure and tell others to do the same. Nevermind the stripped or broken/damaged parts they leave in their wake.

    Men... .. what purpose do we serve exactly?

    Laff.

    How about:

    "Any tool can be the right tool."

    and

    "If it's not broken, you're not tryin'."
