Removing gear knob...
 

This must be easy right???

4x4 Saff 1991 btw.

Just pull it off m8 .

I've been trying! Must try harder...

twists off ?

Mine came of no bother.

I tried getting mine off the other week. It didnt happen so i just left it. They dont screw off im pretty sure they dont anyway.

late escort cossie ones screw off,saff ones pull off :) :)

I ended up stood out of the sunroof with a foot on each seat pulling like fuck :cry:

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!!
:cry:

as above mt75 is a sraight pull

donr try and screw it off all you will do is rip the plastic clip out of the knob itself and thats it fukd :?

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.

no late escort cosworth ones screw off,, :blabla: :blabla:
4x4 saff and early escort cosworth ones pull off,, :D :D

well how does that work as i have a lare escos knob on my saff, and it just pushed on :?

Large escos aint the late ones tho' . ;)

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. :D :D

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?

I replaced my gear nob and gaitor today in my car, pulled like fook and it eventually came off in two bits :cry: old nob was fooked though and it went straight in the bin :cry:
