Sticky Knob

Recommended Posts

Anyone know a clever way to get the stock gear knob off a 915 Carrera ?  I've gone back to the original shifter and it looks a bit daft in a backdate hotrod. I've tried as much brute force as I dare apply in-situ in the car, and lots of twisting back and forth.

Remove the gear tower - its just 4 x head head bolts.

Wrap insulation tape around the shaft to protect the paint.

Pour a kettle of boiling water over the plastic knob - this expands the plastic.

Use a big adjustable spanner opened up to the size of the shaft + 2mm and slid it down against the underside of the knob.

Way too much shaft, knob and stickiness going on here for a Friday afternoon but hopefully you get the idea.
