But I think the one you have has the locking nut under the cap like sunder said.

[Re: Macdaddy4738] #731633 06/19/06 03:53 AM Anonymous Unregistered you have to pry up the cap on the stick - use a fine flat head screwdriver and work all around the cap to pry it up - it won't come up just by digging it in one side and prying like a crowbar -- after that its a nut to remove and the knob should pull off Re: How do I remove this danged shift knob?! #731634 06/19/06 05:28 AM Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 269 Hickory, NC M Macdaddy4738 OP Mudrunner okay thanks! I see the cap your talking about! Looks like someone pried it off before. I ordered a new shift knob (8 ball...so cliche yet so cool) however, is backordered.
