I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __
Morning
I have decided to change my gear shift on my car and was just wondering if anyone has done this on theirs. The videos say it’s a simple screw off with the old one. Just need to confirm that before I start yanking on it!
Aye, even a numpty like me managed it in two minutes! Just make sure you screw the new one on tight enough- mine was rattling and I couldn’t figure out what the noise was at first Love the new one though- soooo tactile!
Someone told me you have to be careful with the thread. Be awkward if you snapped it. Knowing my luck I’ll go from weak to having the whole lot in my hand!
Oddly enough, I actually added some chrome trim around the side repeaters after I finished clean- think they look really smart! Can’t understand why they didn’t come that way as standard! How come yours didn’t come with the badge then?
Do the next owner a favour and stick the original one in the glovebox if it’s still in decent condition. Knobs are a very personal choice The thing I inherited with my car was to my personal taste foul ( although other tastes are perfectly valid - this is not a taste contest) and the new “oem” one I got from MX5 parts isn’t what would have come with my car. I’ve got to buy someone else’s second hand knob off eBay now.
It’s touching how the opportunities for double entendres are not being taken.
