Remove shift knob

how do you remove the shift knob from a manual '00 firebird?

Um, you turn it left. As if you were loosening a screw. That actually applies to any manual car, if I'm not mistaking.

oh really? damn.....i guess i just wasn't turning hard enough, that's what i figured too....i feel stupid now....:)

Heh, It's all good man.

well i got it off, had to use a big set of pliers though, and the new one doesnt fit...guess i wasted $16

thanks anyway for helping me, at least i know how now
