Hi there,

My 1991 Japanese market BRG came with a wooden steering wheel,
handbrake level and gear shift level. Cool.

The problem is that the shift lever has started rattling. If I unscrew
it and shake it I can still hear it, so that means it’s not the
connection between the lever and the …ah… lever.

The question is – can you take the knob apart? There is a rubber strip
about halfway down the knob (see crappy ASCII below) but I can’t find
any obvious way to take it apart and I don’t want to apply any more
force until I find out if it’s possible!

Otherwise I’ll just have to get a replacement or something.

(And after this, I have to get rid of the dash rattle, then get the
alarm made less sensitive, get the CD player less flakey, stop the
battery running down, and… Cars, who needs them?)
