    Wanted to see whats underneath the leather cover that "dresses" the gear lever so i tried to unscrew it. Gave it a hard spin and now its all spinning round without stopping to lock in one position. Did something break?

    It should just pull up and off. If it's spinning try pressing it back on. It is not a spin off and one shift knob.

    If you can pull it off, try using a dollop of silicone when you put it back in place. That might help hold it there.
