Hi Mods, welcome back !
This video is all about removing and installing the unprecedented Corsa D gear knob. Unlike any normal car Vauxhall decided to go off the wall and chose not to have a screw on Gear knob.
As baffling as this is, it does make it rather difficult to change if you haven’t seen it done before! So that’s where NOTaMOD comes in. This video details the ins and outs of everything you will need to do to remove and install your gear shifter.

genuinely very informative! thanks :)
Thanks 🙌 I do try to make sure everything I either learned or noticed is shown so you guys don’t have to do the guess work 👌🔥
Having seen you video I tackled mine - as you say horrible fiddly job. I used a bit of gaffer tape to hold the spring mechanism down whilst I forced the collar into place on the gear knob assembly, made it a lot easier.
Yeahhh it’s just one of those jobs that requires 5 hands 😂😂 and yeah yeah that’s a fair shout I’m hoping to never have to tackle it again but if I do I’ll keep that in mind 👌💪
Thanks 👋
No worries 👌 glad you enjoyed 🔥
It's the same method even for the more recent Corsa F? I would like to change the gear knob and the shift boot.
In all honestly I’m not sure I do believe the Corsa E is different from the D so I would assume the F would be different again unfortunately!
Hi mate that looks sick, where did you get the Sri logo for the top of the gear knob I wanna get one for mine cheers mate 👍🏻
Thanks bud 👌🔥 I do love it👍 I just popped off the cap and measure and got one 3D printed 👌 link to the guy I used in the description 💪
Sorry it was a couple videos before was all about the custom bits 👍
NOTaMOD no worries mate does look sick though will definitely look into it for mine 🔥💪
Yeah definitely check out the video👍 JPH precision helped us out with all the bits 😏👀
Trying to tuck the gaiter into the part below the chrome but afraid to snap it.
Story of my life with essentially every car part on the Plymouth haha ! How did you get on it all buttoned up and working sweet?
I did this but my cover opened up when I put the gear into reverse why does this happen
You mean your gator? And not sure what you mean by open up? If you pull it up and there is a slight gap I believe that’s normal but if it’s a big gap I’m not sure what the issue could be 🤔
Can you still get in reverse without the lever on the knob? Does it damage the gearbox or sth??
I am not sure! I believe the lever releases something on the gear linkage preventing it going in to gear by accident! I don’t think it ties directly into the transmission.
great video!
Can you replace it to another completely knob? These original knobs looks like crap..
Cheers! I believe so! it is strange though as it is a slide on rather then a more common screw on one. definitely possible but hard to find one unless you go for like a VXR one etc...
God loads of other Corsa content on the channel if you want to check it out!
Thanks! Im driving on the Adam S and these knobs looks the same tho@@NOTaMOD
Ow fair play! I’ve been trying to convince my girlfriend for years about an Adam S! Cool cars!
If she finds any in good shape - they are great! Got mine brand new since 2017 til now @@NOTaMOD
Useful video but better with less waffle.
Glad you enjoyed the video bud 🔥👌
Would a Corsa E gear knob fit a Corsa D ?
I mean I don’t see why not as long as it’s the same principle of just slot on and has the groove for the reverse gear lifter! Lemme know how you get on if you do go for it 👌👍
