Shifter Knob Removal Situation

Makes sense. Shifter works great. You'd think it would come loose but isn't happening. I've heard of guys breaking the cable so want to avoid that. Time to order the button and then when it comes, time to drill. Where's that portable x-ray machine?

It's the pandemic's fault. Been happy with my clouded chrome ashtray door for years until recently so I picked up a new one. What's that saying about leaving well enough alone...
