downimpact Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I'm looking to fit a new gaitor and just thought i'd check to remove the gear knob i just unscrews anti clockwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Stock gearknob, yes. I was surprised at how heavy it was. Like a bleedin' brick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2jz Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I panicked for a second there. Thought you were going to remove the stock knob in order to fit one of those lousy aftermarket ones. The stock manual knob is the best knob for the Supra. Very easy to fit\remove as well. Just screw\unscrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 The problem is getting the old gaitor off. Its held on by a circle of plastic that is plastic welded on. You need to drill these off to get it off. Super glueing the new gaitor on can be a PITA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 thanks all, I gather changing the gaitor can be quite fiddly/time consuming but something I've been putting off for 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
