Swapping gear stick gaiter ?

I thought I would get the ball rolling in this section !

I noticed a few weeks back that my gear stick gaiter has a split in it so thought about changing it but I don't know how to remove the gear knob or the gaiter from the trim that covers it all ?

Any help much appreciated. ?

Have you sort this now?

If not its really simple to remove all of said above. The trim around the gater just grab it at the back of 4th and pull up (just held by clips) once that's up you unscrew the gear knob and pull the gater up.

I will add pictures later for others to see

As mentioned above really. The trim around the cater just unclips off by pulling on the circled bit. The gear knob will just unscrew and the gator has a plastic ring around it if I remember right just to keep its shape. I know it's been a while since you posted but hope this helps if you haven't already sorted it!

Thanks for the replies, I haven't tried to remove it yet but I will when I get chance.

I take it the gear knob just unscrews anti clockwise?

Yeah thats right, just watch the spring underneath for the reverse selector

Just seen this thread. Info may come In handy In the near future ?

I need to change my gaiter at some point as I noticed that it has worn through on one side where it has got caught between the stick itself and the trim in the car.

Nice to know that its not going to require half the dash to come out which is what I thought might need to be done!

I have unscrewed the knob and mine wasn't very tight, just get a good grip and twist anti clockwise!
