It clicks out behind the gearstick at the base mate... See below:



Just lift it up from the arrow and it'll come away. Then you'll have to un-do the gator and re-tie wrap it's ass back in.. Just put a new gear knob on mine today and had to do this..

sussed it fella,mine is slightly different,had 2 screws in the centre console storage box,undone them and it came out,now have a nice shiny sti one ,how did you get on with the engine bay?

Believe it or not some cheapo dash shine, works a treat and stays on.. going to try some of that halfords engine cleaner stuff though as my auto-glym gear was obviously made before the world went environmentally friendly, it's full of chemicals! prefer something a bit less caustic lol i'm not looking for a detailed bay just clean and tidy you know?
