Im not to sure but i think the new ones have to be cut off and i think its easy to find out just boil the knob and peel off the covering and then you can find out. thats wat i had to do on an old eclipse of my buddies in my vocational class (auto mechanics). but im not to sure so ask around and pm so people like aveosam and exodus and workin_ike.

i hope this doesnt sound dumb...but how do i boil the knob when i dont know how to remove it?

You have to remove the whole stick, dunk the knob in boiling water to soften the glue and pull to pull it off. For new knobs, you either have to have it super high up, or something compatible with the R lockout mechanism. Suzuki Canada sells a leather-wrapped or a aluminum-clad knob that fits.

Many European site also have compatible knobs. Just search for Lift-up reverse knobs

would this work??
