IanK Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 I've got a 2001 Galaxy Ghia 2.8i. The chrome trim round the top of the gear knob has recently started to flake - the bits are like glass - I've had a couple stuck into my palm - not good when driving! For the moment, I've removed the offending disc, but I'd like to remove the knob entirely, and fit one of my own. Ford won't sell the chromed 'picture disc', but want me to buy the full knob - no surprise eh? How do I get the gear knob off?? Any help or comments would be appreciated! Quote
insider Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 Have you tried a VW or Seat dealer? The engine and gearbox are VW units also used on Sharans and Alhambras. Quote
Smilge Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 IIRC you pull the gaitor up there's a clip or a screw, depending on the model, that has to be pulled out for you to be able to unscrew it. You have to renew the clip. Quote
IanK Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Posted August 4, 2007 Thanks for the info guys! I'm not a 'Forum' type of guy, but it's good to give a little by way of thanks, so I do promise that 'I'll be back' - perhaps I'll be able to give a little advice in return. Quote
