Gear Knob/shaft Showing

[Manny-Yo]

Hey, Ok so I just bought a TRD gear knob an while !Removed! it down part of the shaft is showing as shown in the image below.

Is there anyway to pull up the shaft/leather cover thingy upto the bottom of the gear knob so the shaft cannot be seen.

Thanks.

My shift knob too TRD leather, and has a shaft too.

Maybe short shifter from TWM not has a shaft.

Drill up into the knob if you have the B***s and the dead space to drill into.

Use a drill bit the same diameter as the inner thread it can be done I did it with a metal one I bought for mine screwed down to a perfect match

Don't know about locking into place where you want it I havn't seen that.

On mine it goes in one place only, where the slot is on the shaft for it to clip onto

Manny-Yo any links for where you got the gear knob from? How much did it cost?

[minidoughty]

anything will hold that up, ranging from tape, elastic bands, someone even used an old rubber stopper from a rollerskate.

[Manny-Yo]

Thanks for the replies...I'll see what I can do and report back!

Good thing you put the word 'gear' at the start of the topic title!

[wangtastic]

LOL!

Trust someone to pick that up

[msprince]

Lol i forget sometimes.

Probably the plastic ring clip (located inside the gaiter and onto the gear shaft) which holds the gaiter into place has un-clipped while you were placing the new knob.

Remove the gaiter and re-clip this plastic ring.

Manny thanks for the link, £70 is very expensive though! How did you manage to get it for £30? Was it second-hand?

[jayt13]

nope it was eBay buy, just found it by and off chance he had a couple 8 in stock.

[tutinet]

Yeah :))))
