... I just got a hoopty project hatch for $750. Thing is, the car comes with this ugly, short, uncomfortable little shift knob. I bought a replacement, but the old one just will NOT come off. Does anybody know of any other mechanism besides the little allen screw that holds a shift knob on? I've tried directly unscrewing the thing, but it just won't budge.
Any ideas?

thanks.

 

Channelocks?

 

Huh? what are channellocks?

 

the big pliers in the center of the pic.

 

It came off, but it took the top of the shifter with it. Now I'm gonna hafta buy a new one of those. thanks fer the help, guys; my RoboGrip made short work of it.

 

i think ima have to do that too on my stock 4 speed shift knob. but i lost my 5 speed one so eh. sleeper, ha haha
