aftermarket shifter
Hey, Ive got a 1990 ford tbird LX (3.8) with an automatic tranni and Im looking to get a new shift knob for it. Does anyone know how to remove the old shift knob thats on there? I know usually theres a staple or set screw or something, but the shift knob is completely encased in the rubber, and i cant find anything that would hold it on. Thanks

Pull upward with force.

it has overdrive, but its not an extra button on the side of the shifter, its just another option on the drive select (it goes P R N OD D 1). Do I still need to worry about wires?

I was also wondering, since the stock shifter is a t handle with a side push button, will a shifter with the button on the top still work (sorry if these questions are stupid, but I've never done anything with shift knobs before, and I want to make sure before I waste time and money)?

Re: aftermarket shifter
There should be a pin on the front side (side facing the dash) that you should be able to pull out. Haven't removed an 89-93 shifter before, but in my 96 there was a staple-pin on the front side that i just had to pull out.
