Installation Notes
If your old knob is stuck, penetrating oil and gentle heat usually does the trick. While you’re at it: Check your shift lever for excessive play or bent sections – years of use can cause wear that makes shifting imprecise. It’s also worth inspecting the rubber boot at the base of the shifter, as a torn boot lets dirt into the transmission.
