It can be very difficult, I have not sat in the 7AT since my test drive (6 months ago), but does it have a button on it to "release" it and move through the different options?

If so it can be hard to find a replacement as you have to have one that has that release button and such, usually.

I twisted my knob off with my hand. It took a couple tries, but it didn't hurt the threads or the outside. I haven't had the knob on in the summer, but in cold weather, it gets real cold. I can imagine it's going to end up burning my hand

I never had a metal shifter in my 350, but it did have that metal cap with the shift pattern on it that got pretty hot in the summer. After a few times where I swear I burned the shift pattern into my palm, I bought a nice little hand towel that I kept in the car to simply cover the shifter (or I simply used a hat). This solved all heat issues for me and might not be a bad idea for those of you with the metal knobs.

Let me clarify... the towel was used for when the car was parked, not when I was driving the car.....
