Help! Gear shift knob removal.

[JimBobC4]

I'm stripping the interior on my 1995 Convertable and am down to the console part. How does the six speed gear shift knob come off ? Is it pressed on or does it screw off ? It's REALLY on there tight and I don't want to break it. I'm going to have to exert a LOT of force either way. .

And their products are good, too (you can see mine in the 2nd picture down).

Thank you ! I knew there was a trick to it. I would have never got it off without this info.

You Sir are the man ! :cool

Also for future readers ... take off the gear pattern plate, remove the shifter ring, remove a cotter pin, THEN unscrew it.
