Anyone know how I remove the shifter knob on a 2004 9-3? It's falling apart and I want to replace it but have to get it off first.
Thanks,
Ian

In a 1995 900SE you just pull on it, with moderate force and it comes off the shaft, including a plastic sleeve, it _may_ be the same in a 9-3.
Maybe yours pulled off, not mine :-)
I used careful dissection with a utility knife, some diagonal cutters, and large channel lock pliers. I've heard that some guys use a hacksaw but I didn't want to risk scoring the shaft.
Be careful with the reverse lockout mechanism - don't damage the tube and make sure it goes back in the right orientation and depth.
