[OpelCorsaC]

Mates, your assistance is required please!

I've just bought the Irmscher Gear Knob for my C, but I really don't know how to remove the current one and install the new one.. :?

this is what I purchased:

There's no tutorial here, so your help will be must appreciated!

Cheers

I don't think this fits the 'C' mate, and to get your old one off is a case if brute force and ignorance.

Pull it
Twist it
Rinse & repeat!

It'll come off in the end!

Thanks for the reply ka$h, but isnt the reverse lift gear knob system universal?? I mean, I had a Corsa B before, and an old friend of mine changed the gear knob for a Momo Airleather knob, then I sold my B but keept the old gear knob and it looks like a mirror copy of my current gear knob of my C.... hope this one works!!

[ka$h]

Could be, just I had a feeling they were different between the B and the C and that one is listed as 'b' compatible that's all. Don't know why I think that but I do

[Chaz]

looks like it should fit the c :thumbs:

[OpelCorsaC]

I reaaaally hope it fits!! ka$h made me think... but I hope yes, 'cause if it don't, I'm screwed... :o

This ebay seller puts his auctions very detailed and he didn't told that fit the C... well I'll let you guys know if it worked or not... :oops:

[ka$h]

Sorry mate, didn't want to make you feel like that, just I was unsure as to the fit. Something is just bugging me about the fit that's all

um.....

theres a long list of cars it fits on the auction, corsa c isnt one!! :(

[Chewy]

i think even some of the c gearnobs are different i'm sure the sxi has a thicker shaft than the non sxi

[ka$h]

The sxi is shorter than the comfort one, and slimmer I think. Usually this aint a problem tho cos the replacement will have a grub screw to tighten it on.

[Chewy]

ahh that's how you put the new one on

[ka$h]

yep

[Chewy]

sorry to thread jack but did you say you can buy a new insert for the sxi gearnob kash??woouldn't happen to know the part number would you

It's OK ka$h, you may be right... HOPE NOT!!! :lol: because if you're right, man, I lost 50 UK Pounds!!! :cry:

[ka$h]

Ouch!!!

I hope it fits mate, I really do especially if you shelled out that much. Sorry :oops:

Chewy, yes you can mate, and no I don't. I lost it. I used to have it, once.
