hi, i have a 91 rx7 n/a, manual, i wanna take off the shift knob, but i don't know how to....i don't wanna break anything, i've tried twisting it, but haven't tried hard because i don't know if it is a screw type...could anyone help me?

theres a jam nut butted against the bottom of the shifter knob. take a wrench of appropriate size and hold the jam nut in place while unscrewing the knob, it will come apart. Try not to simply twist the knob off, if it's pretty tight you can cause some damage to the bushing/ball/pin down under the boot trying to get it off carelessly.

might I also suggest a strap wrench, I seem to remember

loosening that nut on the bottom a bit to make it easier to

remove the knob? So when you put a new knob on you screw

it down and then tighten the nut against it to hold it in place.

???



**** i just twisted my **** knob off... ididn't notice any jam night.

=(

It might help if you pull of the skirt (woohoo!), so you can see that jam nut. At least that's how mine is. Screw the nut down, unscrew the knob up. Comes off easy that way.

he says he has an S5.. u dont have to unscrew anything just twist it off... the S4's have that screw...

That's wierd. I have an S4 and all I had to do was the ol' turn to the left.

S5 has no jam nut?

thanks a lot...there was no jam nut....it was just really on there
