How the heck do you remove the shift knob on an '18 6 speed?

[Tom C]

I bought a retro style cue ball knob....but I can't remove the OEM leather knob. It just won't budge.

Any tips?

On my '16 I had to crank it off with a pair of pliers lol. They have it on their tiiight. I assume there was some sort of Loctite from the factory.

The '18 has a leather knob....it'll get destroyed with pliers.

If it’s on there with some sort of thread sealer or lock, destroying the stock knob is really your only choice.

I don't know about an auto, but a manual should just unscrew.

Hit it with your purse.

I wrapped mine with a towel and then took it off with channel locks.

I would suggest putting the purse down. :cheers:

Mine came off with a two handed grip&some colorful word choices
I to had a cueball and actually switched back as the factory knob has better grip&feel imo.

It should just twist off. If they've been particularly liberal with the loctite at the factory then you'll have a HELL of a time getting it off. Wrap it in a towel, two hand grip, swear like you hate your mother and it should come off eventually.

So colourful they're outside the visible light spectrum, I imagine. :lol:

Best line of the day.

Shout "The power of Christ compels you!" while trying to twist it off. Should do it.

$87.45 for a shift knob :headbonk:

I’m glad I like the stock knob.
