Gear Knob issue (Automatic 2014 Astra GTC) - DC23 - 4:th-Feb-2021

Hello all,

Useless with cars but my GTC (2014 (64 plate)) the gear knob has effectively broke. The little silver latch that I hold has broken. Vauxhall are quoting my 600 quid but I cba to pay that. Really don't want to.

I'm wondering if someone could help me identify what replacement I'd require? I have no idea about cars. Quite frankly I bought the GTC 4 years ago and I drive it. Never had an issue with it thankfully.

I'm not particularly knowledgeable when it comes to what Opals are or Astra J's and I'm seeing Vauxhall Safira around alot (I know what a Safira is) but I'm struggling to find the gear knob I need to buy off ebay for my GTC. (I'm in the UK)

I think I've narrowed it down to a few options....

Can someone help me confirm whether either of the two above would be suitable? I have a feeling the first link *should* work...

Much easier to replace the whole thing.

PM me your reg and I'll help find the correct part needed.
