removing shift knob

[dan1901]

How do you remove the shift knob off a 240(manual)? I tried twisting it and that thing just wont move....

[180fan]

keep twisting with a towel and a wrench or something to get more leverage on it

[Ender_Zero]

did you try twisting to the left? lefty loosey righty tighty and all that. or maybe try getting one of your big friends to do it. or start working out....

well i have the stock shift-knob and i dunno but it wasn't screwed on. previous guy had a paper towel inside so it wont move and i do the same .

If you are not planning on keeping the old shift knob you can cut it with a jigsaw and remove it. Then just screw on your new shift knob.

Yea it comes off. My current knob is backwards cuz my friend stripped the threads so it only holds tight when backwards. And my 2nd 240 i just got the prvious owner i guee did the same thing because there was super glue holding it on. Used a towel and pipe-wrench and came off with a little pressure.

When you do finally get it off...don't expect to get it back on the way it was before...i took mine off and after that it was done...never went back on...so i opted for a new one

You have the same one I do...

I love the way it feels, but man, it does get HOT on a sunny day.

That a major understatement...sometimes it feels like my skin is gonna come off...but i bought a sun shade for the windshield and it helps alot
