VW/AUDI Big Gear Knob
For cars with a THREADED gear knob (early Audi,VW,Seat to approx 2005) follow the instructions from point 2
For cars with a SLOTTED gearknob (approx 2005 on) follow the instructions from point 8
1. If fitting to an Audi TT, first using a T20 screwdriver, undo all 8 of the T20 screws surrounding the gear stick. Other cars with a screw on gearknob, skip to point 2….then lift the ring away to expose the rubber underneath
2. Unscrew the existing gearknob… ….and remove the rubber gaitor and aluminium spacer (if applicable) from the gear stick.
3. Push the old aluminium spacer out of the top of the rubber gaitor….. and push the new Forge adaptor into the gaitor from underneath, exposing as many threads as possible.
4. Replace over the shifter rod and push down until the distance between the top of the shifter rod and the top of the Forge adaptor is approx. 28mm (NB: depending on how many threads you managed to push though the gaitor, this dimension may be slightly lower or higher, however this is a good starting point) then tighten the grub screws to hold the adaptor to the gear stick.
5. Replace the trim ring around the gaitor and screw the new knob down as far as it will go. The top of the gear stick should be just below the top of recess inside the top of the knob.
6. Add the shift pattern top cover to the knob, ensuring that its orientated correctly.
7. Installation is complete, enjoy your new purchase !
8. For cars with a SLOTTED gear knob (late Audi/Seat/VW), unclip the gaitor by pulling up at the rear and releasing from the locating lugs at the front, then pull it up as high as you can.
