#1: Gear knob Author: Sofa.King.Happy, Posted: Sun May 22, 2016 9:44 am ---- Hey, hope you'll help me.
So I was trying to remove my gear knob and this happened. Too bad I watched youtube after I broke it
It's sad, but I'll fix it. Will glue work? :/ What you all used to fix this thing? I cant be only one to break it. I hope!
What is more intresting, what's under this? Is there thread there (I used translator, is this thing called thread - www.mechanica.lt/binar...epalas.jpg ?)
#2: Re: Gear knob Author: cainw1, Posted: Sun May 22, 2016 12:02 pm ---- I've pulled the whole bit off to shorten the shaft and that didn't happen but i'd imagine a good bit of super glue would do the trick
#3: Re: Gear knob Author: Sofa.King.Happy, Posted: Sun May 22, 2016 2:13 pm ---- Yeah, I tried to rotate it... bad habit
Yep, I'm thinking about super glue, too.
So whats under that white thing?

Not threads. The plastic is either cast or pressed on. There's , IIRC (it was a while ago...), a series 0f groves/bumps on the metal shaft for the plastic to grip.
Couldn't shift it the slightest until I used an utility knife to repeatedly score a line parallel with the shaft until I got down to the metal, releasing the pressure/grip, and could then peel/pull off the plastic.
Shortened the metal rod and stuck the plastic bit back on with some 2-component epoxy glue. (Still there 12 years later)

Now I'm just thinking of shorting the gears.
Whats better, cutting the top of it or adding extra pieces on the bottom?
