3dr and 2wd Saph gear knobs unscrew. (T5)
4X4 Saphs and all Escort Cosworths pull off. (MT75)

They can be really tight though, don't bang your head on the roof!!

Ok, so it was EASY once I stopped pulling the plastic bit underneath, and just pulled the rubbery top bit. Yes it just pulled off.

how do you no its a late escort one,,,
they do two different gear knobs for the escort cosworth, one push and one screw. I have a late escort cosworth, and it has a screw type. I've had a 4x4 saff and that had the push type. I didn't know they did two types until I brought my escort. If you go to ford it lists two types, the screw being the hardest to get.

its the same as the 4x4 cos one but with a silver top but leather not plastic, i thought only late escos's had leather ones?
