Changing shifter knob

[Jay_Ef]

Hey there...just wondering if anybody out there can help me out. I drive a 2000 sunfire GT standard. I'm looking to change my shifter knob but it has this stupid little thing on the stick where I have to lift it up to put it in reverse, now what I need to know is 1) can I remove that thing on the stick without it affecting the rest of the car and 2) how do i unscrew or take off the knob.
thank you.

Normally there's a little U-clip at the front of the shifter knob that you can remove to release it. You just need a flathead screwdriver to get it out. I'm not sure if it's the same with the newer getrag transmissions, but on my older one it was just that one clip.

Was your older sunfire standard? cuz i dont see a U clip on mine. I see it on my parents automatic cavalier and its newer then mine...so maybe you just misread my thread or something like that. Thanks for trying to help anyways...its appreciated.
