I am putting in a new clutch tomorrow, not that big of a deal... but I got to screw my shiftknob off ( like every other shift knob I have every taken off ) and guess what? it doesn't come off. Consult the chiltons and it says remove trim piece and remove the ring around the shifter below the boot. I do this, and both the boot and the knob are still on there pretty good. There is a plastic ring on the shift knob at this point, and I try and pry it off.. It broke (whoops, didn't seem important anyway) but everything is still just as stuck on as it was before!
I though "well, it IS an 89, maybe its just stuck" and gave it some elbow grease and the leather shift knob cover started sliding and I think the shift knob got a little wobbly or something but it still isn't turning at all.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong???
I can't figure this out and I feel like an idiot. I did a search but I can't find any info on it.
Thanks!
