Want to put a custom shift-knob on the JK.
How does the stock one remove? I've heard you just pull up as hard as you can?

 

You are correct. Just watch out above you, when it comes loose your and/or arm goes flying up.

 

Rubber mallet and a wrench on the bottome of the knob. pound it upward.

 

I tried using vice grips on the shifter knob and hitting them with a hammer, that sucker didn't budge. I found that a sawzall works wonders!

 

I took mine off once on my 07 and it was a pain. I am waiting for my new shift knob to come in this week, and will see how much harder it is in my 08...

 

i was wondering about something, is there any threading size for our shifter knobs or is it just smooth?
cuz im thinking of changing mine and i dont know what size my threading is? help please

 

No threads. Just a notch at the top. Kinda hard to explain. Its basically 1/2 the diameter of the shifter arm.most aftermarket shift knobs come with spacers to go on the top of the shift arm.

I'd offer to take a pic but I used an epoxy to glue my RocKnobs in place.

 

so if i got this right, i can get any universal fit knob and it should fit, right?

 

That's the way I understand it. Check the item description, they should say something about an adapter. That's what it said for the Roc Knobs

 

im trying to get the 8 ball knob, but its doesnt say anything about an adapter i guess im gonna have to keep looking.

thnx
