Yeah that is right, just bought a new one and fitted it. It was a bu$$er to unscrew but came off eventually. Just be careful and remove any rings on yer left hand. When i bought my WR1 i got rid of the wife and the ring.............the gear knob is still in excellent condition. Still have the original and might get it polished. :D
