How to remove the manual gear knob on my Aveo

Anyone knows how to remove the shift knob on my Aveo (photo). I need to replace it with an after market oneAttachment 10115Attachment 10116

Noone can help me?

People already answered you in your other thread. It is not removable as far as we know.

Noone here could helm me. So I took a risk to dissembled the whole unit and put the knob into boiling water so that the rubber knob becomes soft. Then I pulled it off quite easily. Here is the new shift knob I installed. Does it look better?Attachment 10222Attachment 10223Attachment 10224

Looks good to me

does it have a thread or does it just pull off?

Looks awesome ! Something I have wanted to do also. Job well done :iconbiggrin:

it is glued on. does not have threads as other cars do

Do you pop the white plastic piece off the bottom part of the shifter to take the whole knob out of the car? I've been wanting to do this to mine.

I've been looking to do this exact thing. How did you take the shift lever itself out?

That's what I've been wondering. I haven't seen any pictures under the boot to see what part disconnects to get the lever to pull out. And I'm a little nervous to just try prying at stuff under there because I really don't want to break it.

I hate pressed on/ glued on knobs. Or stuff like this where it's all one piece.

Is really necessary to disassemble and how hard was that? or do you think a heat gun could work? :-k
btw it looks great on your car. ;)

I took mine out and used the hot water trick. It's not hard to take the lever out. There's a little silver clip on the bottom of the shaft you gotta pop off and it slides right out.

I'm wondering if I can use a torch to get the original knob off? It seems very complicated to remove the whole piece and I have a pice that can tighten to the stick I just wanna get it off so that the extension can go on the end also my car grinds a lot when I put it in reverse any ideas anything helps I've put 4k into this car
