When I lift up the Gaiter it looks like the nob is secured to the shaft with a small allen (internal hexagon) set screw.

It looks like I need to use a bit of brute force on both the grub screw and when pulling the lever off, and hope I don't damage anything.

Suggestion
The standard gear lever just requires a firm pull and doesn't use a grub screw.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I want to remove my Gear Lever nob. (Yes, I know this is spelt wrong. It's deliberate, because the Forum won't accept the correct spelling! :? ) When I lift up the Gaiter it looks like the nob is secured to the shaft with a small allen (internal hexagon) set screw. Can anybody tell me if this screw is all that holds it on the shaft? The screw is VERY tight, and I am afraid that in trying to unscrew it I may damage the internal hexagon, and then I'll never get the nob off!

POST 2Original post

Is this the techequipment version?. The standard gear lever just requires a firm pull and doesn't use a grub screw. If it is indeed the techequipment version then yes undo this grub screw.

POST 3Original post

Spot on!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I didn't know I had a Techequipment gear lever. However, when I look at the Techequipment catalogue I guess I got it as part of my Small Aluminium Package option. It looks like I need to use a bit of brute force on both the grub screw and when pulling the lever off, and hope I don't damage anything. I need to get it off so I can fit a 997 gear shift i.l.o. my 996 shift, to try to get a slightly shorter shift. Thanks for your help.

If you fancy selling the old gearshift then drop me a line.
