Gear knob.

[The The]

Just a daft one- I have just bought a 55 plate octy 2.0tdi to replace my stolen Fabia and the car is in great condition except the gear knob has the silver coming off probably caused by somebody with a ring on scratching it, is the knob easy to remove? Is it screwed on or glued, I am might find a good 6 speed one on ebay unless anybody has one for sale. Cheers chaps.

You can buy the plasticky inside separately (the part with the H on it).

Changing the knob isnt too difficult either.

SuperSkoda are selling them here : Skoda Octavia II - AUTHENTIC Octavia II - supersoft leather shifter + leather shifter cover 6M : Skoda Tuning = superskoda.com

This appears to come with the leather surround but you may be able to buy just the gearknob on its own. ( make sure you get the right one i.e. for five or six speed boxes)

They also do black ones instead of chrome.

Great thanks for that,

Mines doing the same thing now, and I dont have any rings. I guess it must just be something that happens over time.
