Welcome to NICO!

Check out the G-series FAQ (link in my sig) for a few links that go in detail on the bypass. I'm not sure if there's info on how to remove the shifter...but we do have FSMs that might help.

Let us know if you cant find it!

The knob is basically screwed onto the shifter handle and it is a PITA to get off because there is thread-lok in it. The FSM says to lift up the bezel and use two adjustable pliers .. one on the shaft under the bezel and the other on the knob using a piece of cloth to prevent destoying the finish on the knob.

If you want pictures, look in the FSM, section TM, page 18.
