You should be able to pull the shiny plastic straight down away from the knob. Then you can just twist the knob off.

looks like you have the boot seperated from the shiny piece all ready, just twist the handle now

tried twisting it.. no good

jsmooney

twist it HARD. it will budge - it just takes a lot of effort.

make sure you are twisting counter clockwise or to the LEFT

stamen

yea just put it in gear and twist the crap out of it... its pretty strong

alright. since you guys said the boot is already seperated, i will try to twist it again tomorrow. ill let you guys know the result

jsmooney

if you have to, you may be able to use a monkey wrench to get more leverage, but I would suggest against that - you run the risk of messing up interior pieces....

there no hope for this shift knob... i give up. ill just keep it stock

jsmooney

it took me a few tries to get mine off the first time. can you get your dad or a friend to try?

where are you located?

93BB1

im located in socal

Just crank on it. The worst that can happen is the shift knob breaks. It's made of mostly plastic. The shifter it self is all metal so the knob will break before anything happens.

i think the stock knob looks better anyway.... but i do miss the feel of my old cheap autozone shift knob

Mine sometimes seems IMPOSSIBLY difficult to get off. I just get a wide flat-head screw driver and wedge it between the shift knob and plastic piece underneath it... Then I just twist the screw driver left and right a little, and then put the screw driver on the opposite side, and try the same thing. If you have two screw drivers, twist one side a little bit, and then pry the otherside off.

I have had to use this method on multiple occassions.
