How do I remove the shift knob ?
Nickster1953 replied to Stevenorcal's topic in 996 TT, 996 TT S, 996 GT2
It is hard to believe that Porsche just relies on friction to hold the shifter knob in place. It is counter-intuitive to think that you have to twist and pull so hard on the shift knob to remove it. I was sure there was something I was missing, as I'm used to removing set screws or clips to remove accessories. After reading articles assuring me that I just had to twist and pull hard, I found that the shifter knob was extremely tight and I was afraid I was going to damage my shifter assembly. Kudos to Gcalex for coming up with the vice-grip plier suggestion. I used your suggestion of holding the shifter with vice-grips so it would buffer the shifter assembly from the twisting and pulling motion. It worked great! No damage to mirrors, glasses or foreheads either :-)
