Shifter knob removal

[TravisD]

Don't laugh, but how do I get the damn thing off?

[sinitry23]

I heard it was glued down. You will have to use alot of strength or get a towel and wrap it around the knob and use a wrench. Drive the car for a good 30 mins to warm up the glue a bit then try.

You need to crank on it to get it off.....it's glued on there pretty good. Just bust out the muscles or a pair of vice grips. It will feel like somethings breaking or bending, but keep turning until it breaks free.

cloth to protect the shift knob (if you dont want to mess up the rubber) and some vice grips... thats how i did mine. and yeah, just keep on turning...

[TravisD]

Got it! Thanks.

[whoflungpoo]

I just took hold of the knob at the very top and twisted hard with both hands, after about a second of full tension it broke loose.

I'm 140 lbs soaking wet, if I can do it with bare hands, anyone can.

[TravisD]

Yeah, I just didn't want to force it till I was sure I wasn't going to break anything.

[Meantime]

Nah, you won't break anything. Go to town n' make that mutha yo b****!

Don't forget to turn clockwise.

[wangless]

[spec-u-later]
