Is this a simple job, I don't want to break anything. Any pdf guides on the net?

You loosen the tightening nut then unscrew the shift knob itself. If you don't have a tightening nut, just unscrew the shift knob.

Awesome, I've got a late 2002 model I read some people have had to saw the knobs off :/ eeek hopefully this wont be the case, thanks for your help man!

Ok so I have just had a go with a wrench to try and unlock the nut that's holding the nob in place but the problem is it's so tight I am worried about actually breaking the gear level or the part underneath itself

Anyone had a similar problem? If I twist it as hard as I can it may loosen but the whole gear shaft may break?

Is it stock?

Doesn't the stock tightening nut have to be turned clockwise (versus teh intuitive counter clockwise) to actual become loose?

It's a stock one yea, very interesting i didnt think about that I just presumed it would the latter, cool ill go try that now

You just have to twist the lock nut on the bottom in the opposite direction as the shift knob is twisted on.
Very simple to do.
