drive.. holding your new knob.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO CUT THE CLIP. IT CAN BE PRIZED APART ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE KNOB TO COME OFF. JUST USE A POINTY OBJECT TO WIDEN THE CLIP OUT (I SUCESSFULLY USED A FORK).
THEN ON THE REVERSE PROCEDURE, SIMPLY SQUEEZE IT BACK TOGETHER WITH A PAIR OF CRIMPERS OR PLIERS.
Manual transmissions normally have no display for the current gear setting. You can only tell this by the position of the gearshift lever. Most gearshift lever knobs have markings on the top to remind you which position corresponds to which gear. Unfortunately this knob can come lose and rotate, resulting in confusion.
According to www.wilberelectrical.com knob and tube wiring is no longer legal. You will need to replace it. Chances are, as knob and tube wiring is very, very old, something has broken or it has been disconnected as knob and tube is not very safe. I would recomment replacing it with modern wiring devices rather than trying to repair it.
A lot of newer cars have a "lever" you must lift to shift into reverse. It's a safety feature to keep from throwing your car into reverse instead of 5th gear. Mine is a ring right below the knob that you lift up. See if you car has something similar.

In nearly every modern faucet, there is a trim cap on the top center of the knob that is a friction fit. You should be able to get a fingernail under that trim cap and pop it off. Almost certainly you will find a Philips screw under it; remove that screw and the knob should then come off. You may need to apply some force to the knob; crud getting between knob and shaft, carried there by water, will tighten the fit over the years.

It really is quite awkward to change a gaiter on a VW Golf however it can be done. The actual nylon/ leather gater is easy to remove, it has an elastic hem around the bottome of it which can be unfastened easily, or alternativley the retaining clip can be popped out with ease. The hardest part about changing the gaiter is removing the actual gear knob which can be very difficult, can offer any help on that, suffice to say its very hard.
twist the gear knob anti clockwise and it will come off
The gear shifter has a retaining clip, just below the shifter knob. Hold the retaining clip in, on both sides of the shifter rod, and the shifter knob will come off.
