lostoz Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 My dog was left in the 97 Impreza wagon for about an hour the other day. He ate most of the gear shift knob (manual). I have now purchased a replacement one, made out of titanium. However, I can't figure out how to get the old one off. I assume there is some trick to it. Just thought I'd ask before breaking out the vise-grips and hack saw. He also nibbled the emergency brake handle, which I will also have replace. How do I get that off? Oh yeah, he now rides waaaaay in back, and has a gear shift knob-like chew toy, which is his favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostoz Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 Thanks, I thought it might, but didn't want to start cranking on it without checking first. What's the deal with the emergency brake handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theotherskip Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 i think you have to replace it as a whole unit. i don't think you can replace (or even order) just the cover. disassemble the center console for a better idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostoz Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hmmmmm. The tosser at Car Toys sold me a shiny new chrome handle with a fabric/kevlar cover, then told me that they could install it for $35 an hour. I figured that it couldn't be that hard, could it? It looks like it slides over the end, and is held in place by a lock nut arrangement. Guess I'll have a go, and see what I come up with.
