As above,I have now managed to remove the console but I cant get the gear knob off does it pull off or twist as it doesn't seem to want to do either

 

matt 2 screws if you look inside the DIN. 2 screws where the ash tray is,1 under the window switchs. then you may or may not have the 2 fastners in the footwell push the centres in and they come out this side then you can resue them after . An i think the nob is screwed as i have a monte one which is held on with a hex bolt..

if you can't work it out after that you know what you can do

 

mine is a 93 car and you pull it off

 

early cars ,pull off, but you will need a new one as they break the lugs, later ones unscrew

 

It's off and the new leather gaiter is fitted too
pics later
