Re: original gearknob
Farmer should be careful, after pulling at his knob for some time it could blast him in the face, and no-one needs that, I've even heard stories of it hitting the roof lining - but that's only after the job was put-off for several days beforehand 

Cars in my care:
2021 Kia Spottage 1.6 Pez Turbo Dual Clutch Gearbox Trickery
2013 Renner Twingo - donkey work

Re: original gearknob
some people with nervous dispositions pick the gearstick, my dad bought an accountants car and the gearknob looked like a cats scratching post.

Re: original gearknob
sweaty hands could also cause this problem on the gearstick.
Re: original gearknob
