Shift Knob Repair
 
I apologize if this has been answered but I couldn't find it so far.

My OEM 6MT knob has the top rotary emblem coming off. The whole thing, not just the decal but the whole "aluminum" part. It there any way to easily repair this?

I will admit, I haven't tried hard to remove it but I don't want to spend $50-$150 on a custom knob considering the weight of the factory piece.

You must heat it with a heat gun, remove the center plastic piece (takes time), and the screw is there. Then reassemble after cleaning up previous adhesive.

More on shift knob repair - If the lock ring on the bottom of the shift knob has broken, I have found that the Jet BMX crank spindle spacers 22mm make for a well-fitting replacement. Just search for these on the internet. The cost is only $3.99 on the date of this posting. I used the largest and smallest spacer in combination to replace the original lock ring. It appears to fit tight enough to stay in place.
