i think its like a mk4 golf it may have a hose clamp system to hold it on you will need to cut it off

It's clamped down. What you have to do is pull out the drink parcel/centre console, then remove your centre console (which is held in by 2 T20 screws), then you should be able to lift it off completely. Just be wary that the clamp is extremely tight (as I've tried to do a conversion after picking up the knob and boot from the wreckers).

not sure why you would want to change it... the standard gear knob looks awesome and really suits the car. got any pics of the new one??

not a bad looking shift knob, would definitely suit the interior with the red stitching and silver plastic/metal. make sure you post pics once installed
