Shift Knob

ColtPrice6.4 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-25-2011, 12:26 PM

I cant figure out how to get my shift knob off. Ive tried a strap wrench and cant twist it off, ive tried pulling it straight off, im just short of taking a hack saw to it. I'd like to keep it in one piece if i can. its a 2008 super duty if that matters any at all. Any help yall can offer is greatly appreciated.

Pretty sure its splined, not made to be removed, may be wrong though....

My 2000 is splined. Put a cresent wrench on the shaft, hold it up to the shifter knob and then smash the cresent wrench upwards with a hammer.

My 99 is splined. I was told they use an adhesive to help hold it on. So it will take some force.

With the multiple posts here seems like a few people have tried or needed to do this. I can't think of why............... Begs the question.... Why would you want to take it off ????
