Hi guys! I have a lil problem, iv searched through posts on how to get the renault gear knob off, iv pulled and twisted the thing to high heaven and it still wont come off! anybody got a secret way of getting it off?
Its a 55 reg and the knob has like an overhang at the top, iv seen some previous models with just a rounded top. If that makes a difference?
Cheers
its a bit hard..

Re: its a bit hard..
Not seen the gear knob of a 55 reg, but have removed them from a Mk1 Clio, 2 x Mk2 clios and a Mk1 Megane.
The first one I had to take the top part of the gear knob off which revealed a bolt, which when undone let you remove it easily.
All of the others required nothing more than a bit or guts and brute force...
They were prety difficult to get off but I used a device called a Boa-constrictor (desgned to easily remove jar lids or anything else that twists)
Failing that a mechanic / garage might be able to tell you exactly how it is fitted and therefore removed...
Good Luck!

Re: its a bit hard..
i had a 55 plate oasis and changed the knob by pulling straight up
yes it was stiff but came off in the end
you could try an open end spanner under it and hit with a hammer from below
good luck

Re: its a bit hard..
Just bought an aftermarket universal knob (please don't), so I'm going to have a go at fitting that today. The one already in the car is pitiful and spoils the look of the interior. The top of the knob has worn smooth and plain through it's years of handling.
Wish me luck!
