thats best choice. Also use another wrench to hold the shifter stem because you don't want to twist that!

Oh yeah! Great point Zman! I did twist it slightly (though I could tell as soon as it did and I stopped before continuing using a second wrench). I actually had problems for about a week with the shift knob slipping out of 2nd gear before I let off the clutch

I managed to twist it back a bit and haven't had any problems since

Correct. You just use one hand to hold the shifter stem (make sure it doesnt twist) and with the other turn the knob loose with the strap wrench.
