It should just screw off, but if its an aftermarket knob, some have grub screws holding em on and/or screw off normally. Could also be glued onto the threads. |

Yeah it's just the stocko one. Dad was holding locking pliers onto the stick and I had rubber gloves twisting it anti clockwise anddd it wouldent move.. Looking at the knob from underneath there's a groove in the bottom side.. Like it slides on and then clips in or something..? |

If it's the stock knob it just screws on. If you are having that much trouble shifting it i'm guessing the previous owner has Loctited it on. |

Abit of heat from an oxy will loosen the Loctite  (joking, Your car will end up like Zookfan's)

Remove the gearstick from the car and clamp it in a vice. Use some big multigrips on the knob and just twist. It may (will) destroy the knob though but I'm guessing you are fitting a new one? |

Speaking of knobs, the guy at the brake shop was very confused when I took my zook in there recently. He had to move it to get in on the hoist and I could see a wave of "WTF" fall over his face when he tried to put it in gear. My gear shift has the transfer case lever on it, and the twin sticks for the transfer case have plain black knobs
And I left the 2wd/4wd stick in neutral
Whippersnappers!!!

Awesome stuff! Confuse the fuck out of them. Probably a good anti-theft measure as well. A mate of mine has an Eaton Roadranger gearknob with 2 air-operated range selection switches in his Falcon RTV. Get some strange looks when he takes it anywhere for service. |

Honestly I was suprised he got so confused. It was at that point I should have realised it would take him an hour and a half to fit a handbrake cable
