Title: 8-Ball shift knob
Post by: 481 on June 13, 2009, 01:35:28 PM

So I have this old 8-ball and I was thinking it would look good as my shift knob. I went out to my car and tried to unscrew the one that was on there, and it feels like it is cemented in place for all eternity! Every shift knob I have ever removed has been either a push on or a regular right hand threaded knob. Are these left hand thread or something?? I couldn't find anything online but I figured one of you guys would know. Maybe it has some loctite on it and I need to heat it up?

It is a '99 Rover Sportspack, I can take pictures if need be.

My 99 rover shift knob unthreads normally, at least from what I recall when I took it off years ago. Perhaps yours has something glueing it on.
