Got a seriously boring day at work today. I fancy making myself a natty gear knob. How are they held on? Are they threaded or is there some kind of crappy plastic thing inside like an e46?

There's a slot in the top of the stick that engages with a moulded peg on the underside of the top of your knob.....as the actress said to the bishop.... :D

yes, just push on, although if you're making one, a grub screw in a suitable place would probably be the easiest way to hold it on.
cheers,
