OK, stupid question time. How do I get this $^$@&(*% shift knob off??? '05 Cavalier- (manual)


I'll think of something cool eventually...
...or maybe not...

I think there should be a C clip or a screw somewhere on the handle. On the autos there is a C clip. Maybe that helps.

it should have a clip running thru the knob itself use a screwdriver to pry it out, you'll want to pull the boot down first cus the clip is hidden under the boot on the front of the shfiter (the side towards the engine not the side towards the trunk) just get a flathead screwdriver and pop the thing out then pull the nob up. if you want to replace the nob you'll have to get one that has set screws as we dont have threads on our shift nobs thus you cant simply screw a new knob on.

also if you plan on using set screws i would recommend making dimples in the metal shifter or the nob will move around on matter how hard you try to tighten the 3 screws.

all you have to do is turn the knob left and right like a b...... at the same time pull up.

I had to cut the knob off on my 04 sunfire when i did the B&M short throw install
