I am trying to remove my carpet and wanted to remove the manual transmission shifter knob. I did read the B&M instructions. However, I can't get the leather cover off of the shifter knob. Do you just pull up on it? THe B&M instructions mentioned removing a hex screw. I cant find a hex screw anywhere. THis is driving me crazy. How do you get the knob off? Thanks.

If you have a stock shift knob, you should be able to get it off by pulling HARD. Straddle the shifter with your legs and pull - it will come out suddenly, so be careful. I think the 9x7 models have a hex screw, but the 9x6 models don't and are just a very tight friction fit

yup, it just pulls off with quite a bit of force... you can give a gentle wiggle (twist) and then it will come off all ta once... be sure to protect it and your face as when it does cut loose it is rather quickly

if you have the one with the hex screw then it's on the front of the shifter. lift up the leather all the way up until you see it.
