I received my M Shifter Knob today and for the life of me cant get the OEM one off!

Are there any tips/special instructions, or do I just need to pull harder !

TIA,

if it's a manual tranny, yes, yank it really hard. i took mine out, had to sit on the arm rest and use my legs and upped body to yank it. but watch out when it comes off! i banged my head when it came off, good think i didn't put a hole on my roof. lol.

Whether it's an automatic or a manual you just have to pull straight up, pretty hard too I might add. If you want to keep the old shift knob for some reason, don't twist it, cause you'll break the turning lock off.
