LOL, the best part is that its true. You should really be asking how to take off the stack knob and how to replace it with ANY aftermarket shift knob. Unless you arleady know how, and I totally misunderstood the question.

Shift knobs are usually universal, and they're a dime a dozen on eBay or any parts store.

the 03+ models have a pull-up reverse function that the universal shift knobs wont cover

My '01 sunfire has the pull-up reverse part on it too. After taking it apart and looking at it, I'm pretty sure if you buy a new one it will be fine, you just have to actually take off the pull up piece when you take off the stock knob too. Don't hold me to this, but I think everything will still work the same, you just won't have to pull anything up to reverse like before, so it'll in some senses be easier for you.

Take it off.


Or get a short-shifter off of Ebay (which will require the removal of the plastic doodad anyways).

Which can be taken off, or even kept depending on the size of the knob. There are certain kinds that support this function, so it really depends on your preference. Also, if your worried bout downshifting from 5th to Reverse, it wont let you, no matter what. It has this little function where you have to move the shifter to the middle and then you can shift into reverse. Atleast GM got something right... =D Oh, and short shifter ftw!
