Hi,

Ive been trying to take the gear knob in my car off but it wont budge. It looks like theres a white adhesive holding it in place. Im not sure but it just doesnt seem to wana come off. Ive attached a few pics of what it looks like at the bottom of it. If someone knows what it is please let me know and also how to remove it.

sorry about the quality of the pics to.

Cheers

That would be Damo being sarcastic...lol.

By the looks of it the gear knob didnt fit properly, so whoever put it on decided to wrap tape of some sort around the gear stick before jaming the knob back on. I would still say you will need to try unscrewing it and pulling up hard at the same time to get it off, wouldnt be a bad idea to leave it in the sun for a little while to warm up, might make the glue go sticky and come off easier, oh, and make sure your head is out of the way when you do it, or set a video camera up for when you punch yourself in the face! lol!

My 2 cents, hope it helps!

seriously bad photos,,, but I would guess they have a tiny set screw along the bottom. and lots of silicone to hold it

unbolt the shifter from the top of the housing and then look at it on a workbench.. ???

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
