Removing 993 Gearstick / Knob/Centre Consul.

[glenn911C4S]

I have just collected my 993 Targa, knowing that the gear knob was badly worn I have bought a new complete knob/gaiter.Can anyone tell me how to remove the centre consul to fit the new unit? I cannot see any screws and dont want to damage anything by pulling too hard!!!

Shift knob comes off with a very determined pull. Make sure you don't damage yourself or something else when it lets go.

From memory there are screws under the tray behind the handbrake lever and under the panels that hold the switches in front of the gear lever. The switch panels just pull off; the tray may be held with a screw or two under the little rubber mat.

When I did my 964 it was screws under the handbrake and also there is a screw under the rear pocket, but the rubber holding the gearstick is well stiff and like the prev post just be careful, but I'd say cut thelthr if your replacing it all, all dpends on what your actually replacing.

some pics when I retrimmed my 964, which might help. Assuming it's very similar if not the same.

Like they said. The gear knob just pulls off. However, you will need to remove the whole centre console to remove the gear knob boot. From memory a couple of screws under the cassette box / cubby box and also under the hand brale escutcheon. Full instructions on p-car.com under the section on fitting a replacement handbrake leaver.

You dont need to remove the console to change the gaiter/knob. The Gaiter has a wire frame that just clips into the console, just push the left hand side of the gaiter down into the console and the wire frame will unclip, then just lift the whole gaiter up through the hole and pull off the Gear knob.

Where did you buy this? My knob is badly worn as well.
