Hi. The 6MT shifter knob is held on with blue locktight and has a regular right hand thread. You need giant channel lock pliers or a heavy duty strap type wrench with a breaker bar to loosen the knob. I was able to get mine off with a small impression left in the leather but that won't matter in your case as you are replacing the knob. You might want to hold the shifter shaft with vise grips and suitable rubber protection to lessen the force exerted on the shifter assembly itself. Check for worn parts once you have things apart. The factory service manual that is available on this site gives excellent directions as well. Good Luck!
