Nah, lift up ring that's around the shift boot and get a microfiber towel. Wrap the MF towel around the shaft, and then use your vice grips on the shaft.

Nah, lift up ring that's around the shift boot and get a microfiber towel. Wrap the MF towel around the shaft, and then use your vice grips on the shaft. This way you don't scratch it. Then use the strap wrench on the shift knob. I wrapped my shift knob first with painter's tape, then duct tape so i could get a better grip...AND it didn't damage the knob.
Here's a nice thread that goes into detail a bit: OEM shift knob removal (SEARCHED)

Kellyefields, did you have to do anything other than remove the stock shifter? Is your new knob fitting snug agains the shifter boot?

yeah is fit snug but I already had a different shift knob on there already plus I have the B&M short throw shifter so it makes a difference.

One of our customers came up with a smart idea on how to to keep the shift boot up tight underneath the shift knob.
He used two o-rings and it works perfect. We tried it out and we agree. It's a good solution. If your shift boot is sagging a bit, we would be more than happy to mail you out of few of these o-rings, free of charge =)
