Therambleman Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi guys, Might be a pretty basic question but I wanted to fit the original gear knob that I have to my 260 (replacing the crappy holden one that's on there). It looks identical to this one: https://zcardepot.com/driveline/transmission/manual/shift-knob-wood-4-and-5-speed-510.html Just wondering if anyone has done this before and if anyone has any tips on what to do to ensure I don't stuff it up! I have looked through the forums already and can't find anything. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted September 28, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 28, 2016 Just unscrew the old and screw on the new. Nothing hard about it. Unless someone messed with the existing thread on the lever - which I doubt. Hardest part will be getting the numbers to line up straight.

You can use small amounts of balled up newspaper to get the gear knob to sit in the correct position. Linton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therambleman Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks Gav and 44. Took the old one off and there had been a whole bunch of putty molded to the screw in order to fit the holden knob. Cleaned up well though and thread was untouched – just had to fit a new nut inside the new knob (existing one was moving around inside the wood). Amazingly it actually worked. Next step newspaper to make it sit straight. Thanks for the tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
