Auto shift knob removal...?
Hey guys, on a '85 iroc how do you remove the automatic shifter knob? I want to replace it along with the plastic shifter plate/cover cause its cracked.

Have any of you guys done that?

thanks!

If you have the round shifter ball you must first pull out the button and there will be a c clip on top of the metal shaft that you have to remove.Once you remove the clip then you will be able to take off the knob

Well since someone already made a topic, I have a 84 firebird auto. My shifter is a T shaped shifter with a button on it. How would I remove one like this?

Sam, look at the front side (towards the front of the car/radio) of your shifter, there will be a clip that looks kind of like a staple in there. Just use a screwdriver and pry that out then the shift knob will just pull straight off. Be careful when taking the clip out, they sometimes like to go flying, don't wanna lose it.

On the front edge of the knob there should be a slot that has a horseshoe type clip inside.You need to pry it out with a thin flat bladed screwdriver.Once its out the knob should come right off
