well, check my pic to see if we have the same 240, but mine just twisted off. i tried it myself, but my dad had to do it. even though it seems like its gonna break, it wont.if you want to save it, take a few cloths and wrap em around the shifter. then take a couple sets of pliers and twist your hardest.

i took off my shift knob just to replace the boot, and i had to yank so ****ing hard on that thing i broke a pair of pliers and took a chunk out of the rubber on the knob. it was still usable but ugly, so then i looked into a nismo shift knob and decided it was $90 i could spend a lot better.
