2000 cavalier shift knob!!!

if anyone knows how to remove a 2000 chevy cavalier 2dr coupe shift knob please let me know because i have done everything in my power including cutting the hole thing to pieces and i am totally clueless.

I believe there is a metal clip on the side facing the dash, near the bottom of the knob...pull that out, and it should either spin off or just come straight up!

lol tried it....in fact....u name it...ive tried it theres no clip unless its under a Reverse lock and theres nothing under the rubber ball (stock shift knob) cuz i cut it 2 pieces and theres notin there but a blue rubber ring. if tried screwin, pullin, twisting....and then i tried it on my shift knob and it didnt work either way...lol...thanx anyway

on that note is the 99 shit know set up the same way? cuz i looked and there isnt much room to pull a pin or clip out, i think you may have to push somthing in. maybe someone can pursuade me to think diffrently?

There is a small clip on the front lower part of the shift knob. Remove this with some needlenose pliers before unscrewing the knob.

i just finished changing the shift knob, and all you need to do is cut a little bit of the rubber off of the bottom of the knob, the little clip has to be removed with a presicion flat screwdriver, but make sure u tap it in with a pair of pliers, wiggle it out and there u go!!
Just have patients. :smile:

when i replaced my shifter i just bashed the head of the old shifter off with a hammer ;p

after i was done changing the shifter i just clicked the head back into place like nothing happened and hung the whole assembly on my wall, good as new.

o well idk what any of you did but i went to 2 dealerships and they both said that the 2000 chevy cavalier (that i own) 2.2L (if that makes a difference) (it dosnt) manual shift knob does not come off and in no way is designed to be removed for an aftermarket shift knob....:-/
