Gear knob that is. I have bought a short shifter and can i get the gear knob off, not on your nelly. I have managed to turn it slightly by hand but no more.

Any suggestion please on how to unscrew it?

mole grips

a hot flannel and rubber gloves...........


soak a flannel in boiling water, don said marigolds, wrap hot teaming flannel round said knob, hold there for a few sweaty mins, remove hot flannel, dry knob, grip with dry hands, and twist like your trying to steal it.......

Spinnach...sorry couldn't resist.

Have you tried a rubber glove?

I never even gave it a thought
