   hey,
   
   I've started my interior mods on my car, starting off with the gear knob.

   I dont think they come off, a mate tried to get his off and ended up cutting it off then couldnt fit the new one so had to get a hole unit from the scrappy.

    I did exactly the same... got an 8ball for my gear stick but really struggled to get the original off, as soon as i sat in the back, whacked it into 4th n had a good tug it came straight off!
