How to Change Shiftknobs? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I just bought one of the BLOX tear drop shaped shift knobs. How do I take off the stock one, just a simple screw on screw off? Also I was assuming this style would retain the stock reverse lock out but I never actually check it out, anyone one about this?

To take the shift knob off you just unscrew. From what I've seen the BLOX should be okay with the stock reverse lockout.

I like how that you'd have to know the answer to be able to know it's already been answered, yet would spend as much time to answer "search for it" rather than just answer the question. It's a very "screw off, why don't you" vibe you add to the forum.

As to the OP, the knob is a simple screw on/off. I don't know if that particular knob is designed to accommodate the lift ring for reverse. Hopefully someone with experience with that knob will chime in.

You do not need to know the answer to a question in order to find out if its been asked

Something something teach a man to fish something something something

And yeah the thing will fit.
