garetheves Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Hi. just bought mesel a new Momo Gear Knob and came to put it on but it doesnt fit right. Basically the old one (Standard) was a screw on and this aint. It comes with a spring which ive used and managed to get it on and secure but it sits too high on the shaft and as a result there is a gap underneath before the lift up reverse. Has anyone else had any problems like this? If so how was it solved cos it doesnt look right from side (see photo). Or is it just the gear knob and its unavoidable?

merckx Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I've just recently fitted a momo gear knob, it wasn't lift up reverse but I modified it so it would accept the lift up collar. I shortened the gear stick shaft quite a bit using a hacksaw and modified the momo knob so it would screw on to the remaining threads. Not sure how yours is fitted, you might be able to cut it down aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Haven't you fixed that yet? - Going by the date on that photo, you fitted it nearly 2 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 My Momo didn't fit either. I just drilled out some more from the gearknob and it sat further down. Measure what sort of gap you have and then what's left to drill out of the gearknob (O/L minus the hole depth) otherwise the drill bit will end up poking through the top Wouldn't feel happy myself hacksawing the gear stick shaft!

garetheves Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 Cheers for replies Did think about shortening the shaft but again didnt fancy attempting that. Will prob try deepening the hole in the gear knob itself like u said paul. Matt - haha didnt notice that. will have to sort the date out on me camera.
