FAQs
What vehicles is the MOMO Gotham Gear Knob compatible with?
The MOMO Gotham Gear Knob is designed to fit most vehicles, but compatibility depends on the gear stick's thread size and the type of reverse gear mechanism (standard or lift-up). Always verify compatibility and thread size before purchasing, as adapters may be required.
How do I determine if I need the standard or lift-up reverse version?
Check your vehicle's owner's manual or observe how you engage reverse gear. If you need to lift a collar or ring on the gearstick to engage reverse, you need the 'Lift Up Reverse' version. If reverse engages simply by pushing down or sideways, you likely need the 'Standard Reverse' version.
Is installation difficult?
Installation is generally straightforward for most users, involving unscrewing the old knob and screwing on the new one. However, if a specific thread adapter is needed or if you are unsure, professional installation is recommended.
How should I clean the gear knob?
Clean the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For the dark chrome parts, use a dry microfibre cloth to gently wipe away dust and fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Does it come with installation hardware?
Typically, MOMO gear knobs come with basic thread adapters. However, it's essential to check the product's specific contents or inquire if a particular adapter for your vehicle model is included or needs to be purchased separately.
Can the dark chrome finish be damaged easily?
While durable, the dark chrome finish can be scratched by abrasive materials or impacted by harsh chemicals. Gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended to maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Gear knob is loose after installation.
Ensure the gear knob is screwed on as tightly as possible. If it continues to be loose, you may need a thread adapter or further securing mechanism for your specific vehicle.
Reverse gear is difficult to engage.
Confirm you have purchased the correct variant (Standard Reverse or Lift Up Reverse) for your vehicle. If the correct variant is installed, check for any obstructions around the gearstick or internal mechanism issues.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for automotive interiors. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
