I just read BShaw's thread from yesterday about removing a column shift lever. Nobody remarked on the question I'm curious about so thought I'd ask a related question. I found an NOS chrome lever to replace the cruddy painted one in the Wagonaire. The removal procedure seems pretty simple, but is the installation of the new one as straightforward? Just pluck the old one and and stick the new one back in? Or is there something waiting to bite me?
Also, the chrome lever has a black knob. I have a lovely new ivory knob to replace it with, but I'm unsure how to do that. It doesn't have threads. My old knob on the lever in the car now has always sort of just spun, and I wondered why it has never broken off. It has been cracked and checked for the entire fifteen years I've owned the car, but never actually broke.
Thanks for reading, and for any advice.
