calling Renntech Massive, just about to fit a short shift to a 6 GT3, the job all seems easy enough, all instructions make sense, except the very first item, removing the gear knob. Where is the 5 mm locking screw ?? after lifting the surround leather and exposing the lever there's no sign of a retaining screw anywhere, there is a plastic tube running down the lever where the leather stops for about 2 inches, it's not under there is it ?? would mean cutting that up, anyone help on this.

Cheers

If there is a no screw then you have a "pull-off" knob.

Twist and pull at the same time and be careful not hit the roof (or your face) when it comes off.

.......so to replace, just push back on ?? should it lock or click, does the twisting not damage it ??

I replaced my stock shift knob with the GT3 RS alcantara version... Slipped back on fine but has a tendency to ride up and I'm always banging it back down.  any suggestions to hold it in position better?

 

Thanks...
