I just got a dandy new stock shift knob but I can't get the beat-up leather covered one off. Of couse I don't know how it's attached (just bought the car) but assuming it used a stock crush washer should it just pull off? I probably should get a new crush washer before I cut the knob off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Always wanted a 914, finally got one. Please help the newbe. Nick |

Before you go hammering on stuff, make sure there isn't a small set screw at the base of the knob (it may not be in plain sight). I have a leather one without crush ring but a set screw.
