The exposed part of the threaded bush (the bit that's covered by the unscrewable collar on my car) is the plain end - ie the end with no grub screw in your photo. Which seems to indicate that the grub screw (or screws) is up inside the gearknob itself! No amount of shoving down of the collar on my part is exposing the grub screw - because there ain't no grub screw there!

Could you very kindly confirm to me that the gearknob "shell" itself screws onto the threaded bush with a normal right-hand thread on your example? If so, then I'll need to use brute force to unscrew the knob from the bush; re-tighten (and maybe reverse?) the bush, then screw the knob back on.

Many thanks in anticipation. Nick cheers


Just taken my gearknob off. The gearknob "shell" does screw onto the threaded bush with a normal right hand thread. The difference on my vehicle is that the grub screws are visible and are at the top of the threaded bush.
