Removing shifter knob...

[Ozz]

I have a 92 AOD and want to replace the stock shifter knob with an aftermarket piece.

I know which piece I want but before I buy I want to make sure I can get the damn stocker off without breaking anything. Well, the handle itself can break but if there are any internals that need to remain functionable, I want them safe!

SO! Anyone have a clue? There are no bolts or screws on the underside/front of the handle, so it must be forced, glued, fused, welded, or something similar.

It HAS to come off one way or another.

Thanks.

Dave, i dont know, but i will give you a bump. i have not seen a slushbox stang, but with other fords, there is sometimes a U-shaped type clip on the handle, which slides out. then the handle can come off. just thought i would toss that out, though im sure you would have tried that if there was one. mostly just a bump and to say hi.
good luck.

I can just unscrew mine off with my hand fairly easily...dont know if you are supposed to be able to do that or not.

just pull it off really hard.

Yeah, pull really hard, while depressing the shifter button. Be careful, cause my friend punched himself in face when the handle flew off lol. Make sure your face is not in the line of fire.
