Becos of the spring-lifting mech for the reverse gear, dont think can easily find a matching gear knob to fit easily..
The manual gear knob is screw-type.. and the base need to be wide enough to allow the spring, else u can remove the spring, but there will be some risk taken and may engage reverse gear by mistake.
The spring actually hold the mech down, so reverse gear cannot be engage by mistake, removing this spring would accidently release the mech and instead of 1st gear, u may by mistake engage reverse.

Glenn... Err, I think the spring mechanism is in the shaft, the knob does not act as a stopper. Unscrewing it out will not affect the mechanism. I have unscrewed the whole knob out, I'm thinking of changing out the knob, because the knob got scratched by my watch. Dex. To change out the knob, you need to make sure the base of the new knob will fit the shaft because its quite thick. I don't mind having your Mono knob, of course if the price is right.... I will take a pic of the shaft with the knob out. Just turn anti-clockwise

Just turn anti-clockwise - Bro bro bro.... dont believe... just try lor... lol Without the knob to act as the spring stopper... the reverse gear is onli hold down by gravity... Maybe can find a smaller spring so that other gear knob can be used... lol

Maybe can find a smaller spring so that other gear knob can be used... lol Took this picture...maybe it will clear out the doubts - If the moving sleeve is unable to fit into the base of the knob. for this case in "blue" plastic. you will not be able to engage first gear. if unable to fit, cannot lift out the mechanism of the reverse gear to engage it. So for Dex Momo knob...still can try...just need to make sure the base fit lor... The spring is only a tensioner to hold the lifter down.

Bro, from the picture... isnt the gear knob a stopper for the spring? lol
Else.. without the gear knob.. your spring will be pushing against your after-market gear knob... and u need to make sure your after-market gear-knob can hold down the spring..
And if possible, should cover also -- else not so nice to expose the spring.

And if possible, should cover also -- else not so nice to expose the spring. Sorry, mistook your explaination....I tot u referring to the spring mechanism to engage reverse gear. The mechanism from what I can see is "fail to disengage reverse" meaning it will not engage reverse if u unable lift the sleeve. I don't think its hold down by gravity, the mechanism feels like its spring loading. The spring on the knob is just tensioning the sleeve to go down. Impt the base of the new knob need to allow the sleeve to move up & down. To play safe, I wanted to buy the Citroen DS4 sports gear knob from Paris, because the mechanism is similar. Unfortunately the salesman can sell to me because its an add-on accessory, for sale if you buy the DS4... Dex, Just look at the bottom of your Momo knob...see if u are in luck
