I too have the nismo titanium and love it!
Yes i did use the strap wrench. The thing was on tight like no other.. I thought the strap wrench wouldnt tear the leather but it did.

That's not what you stated in your previous post:

The strap wrench is a different tool. It utilizes a heavy duty plastic handle with a heavy duty (slip-proof) rubber belt. This rubber belt is what contacts directly with your stock shift knob for removal. It should not have torn your shift knob leather if used correctly. A vice grip would definitely do that, even with gobs of towels/cloth.

If a strap wrench is what it sounds like youre describing I use it to get the oil filter off, pretty useful tool.
