Shifter Knob

I just picked up a 2000 SE model this month. Looks like the former owner's dog chewed up the shift knob. How do I remove?..and what are my replacement options. Thanks - I'm new to this forum

You don't say what transmission your car has in it, so i'll assume its an automatic. On the front of the knob near the bottom there is a clip you need to remove, it kinda looks like a wire staple. remove that and pull up. If its a manual it should just thread off.

Yes, it is an automatic. How do I get past the boot? know what I mean?
