Shifter Removal Question

I'm trying to remove the stock shifter on my 996 in order to install a Carbon Fiber Shifter. The stock shifter doesn't have the retaining bolt. I can't pull the shifter off. I've exerted a massive amount of force trying to pull it straight off. The black plastic sleeve that is below the graphite grey leather nor the knob will budge a millimeter. Any suggestions?

If you are sure there is no set screw. The standard shift knob does not have a set screw.

Twist the shift knob hard back and forth so that the plastic sleeve expands a bit. Then pull. Then pull harder.

I once saw a mechanic put one foot on each seat as he was standing in the car. He did not want to get hit in the face when the shift knob let go.

Thanks guys. I did the foot on each seat with the sunroof open and it finally came loose. Very tough thing to get off. Thanks again for the help.
