Meh, beat me to it.

 

when i changed my shifter knob i had trouble at first but mine was simple. i just pulled the boot down off the knob and pulled up and it came off.

 

yethe first thing i did before i started was pulled that up. he says try it from different angles but it doesnt seem to be working. all the plastic underneath it is broken off. i can see the foam and the spring but the shift knob wont budge.

****. i just got it off and learned a lesson at the same time. dont lean right over top of the shift knob. i grabbed ahold of it and pulled and BAM flew off right into my lower jaw. now the inside of my lip is busted open and my bottom teeth hurt but by god i got that off. onward with the project and thanks for the help :P
