It is extremely easy. All you have to do is pull the boot down from the shift knob. That will separate the leather boot from the knob by the chrome looking ring. Then you just unscrew it off. Takes 15 seconds.

Here are some other suggestions to.

jlindy is right. The challenging part is not to scratch that delicate little plastic ring just below the shifter. You must depress the two little clips at the 12 and 6 oclock positions just above the ring, then pull the boot down. Then unscrew.

changing shift knob

wow, that's some really excellent info !
i like that carbon fiber trim too....
i didn't realize you can take the center console off that easily....
i need to , cause i have to fix the temp. aspirator fan....or replace the motor more likely, which i hear is only $12....
i will do both then at the same time...
i did my a carbon fiber top half, leather bottom half shifter knob but i'm not sure whether i can fit the boot flush with this shifter...

am i getting this then..... that if i can't get the boot to be flush with the bottom of my new knob, i can reverse the chrome ring and make it at least look ok....? how do i make it look right, with the new knob?

it's from

$12??? I thought the aspirator fan was something like $140.

Guess I should keep the extra one I have laying in my tool box then. I was thinking of selling but since I live in the South, and it gets really hot here I shouldn't let it go.

fan

well, the fan i'm talking about isn't stock asssembly...oem stuff is i hear $400 or so...

i'm talking about small 40mm computer fan you can get at Frys'....and slow it down with a resisitor....
