sorry didnt notice anyone had replied to the topic
errmmm taking the gaitor off, did it ages ago so carnt really remember.
think it was a bit of a pain though. I think at the top where the gaitor is attacted to the gear knob it was qyt a struggle with a screwdriver trying to get it off. You will have 2 b persisant i think.
sorry notmuch help

The gaitor is held in by plastic clips, pop them off and pull the gaitor over itself. It's then just held in by a single metal ring. Using a flathead screwdriver pry this off. Once it's off it's not really usable again, so buy a small jubliee clip from Halfords and use that to re-attach.

I know how to detach the gear stick from the car but how do i get the gaitor off it to change it to a new one?
The metal clip holds the stick to the car
