Default Can't unscrew the damn shift knob?
am I missing something? I cant remove this thing. Ive read a bunch of threads saying to remove the nut underneath and turn the shift knob the other way.

I dont see it and dont want to ruin anything.

looks like the previous owner glued it in, (from the crappy picture) the counter sunk jam nut is missing

damn, that sucks! maybe a towel wrapped around the knob a few times and a kinda big vice grip would break the lock?

had a gear knob seize on me before too for some reason...

rolled the shift boot down as far as i can
gripped the gear lever with a big vice grip
held onto the vice grip to prevent it from turning with the gear knob
got a big burly muscular guy to turn the gear knob
voila...

Hopefully the permanent Locktite wasn't used...

:-( Ok that sucks. Yes sorry for the crappy picture but it was from my phone.

Thanks, I will try it. Will I break anything from trying really hard?

That's a not so bad idea^ But does it close/pinch that small?
