I feel like the odd man out asking after reading all this…. But how on earth do I get the damn thing off? I modded this whole car to low 11s and can’t swap the shift knob. Shoot me lol.
Hahahaha! Ok maybe this will help. Its just a staight pull up towards the roof. Make sure the boot is not attached to the console when you pull it up. I put my knee on the passenger seat. Think of it as breaking a bolt free. Quick jerk as opposed to a steady pull. Need to be in neutral

All,
This is my second shift knob replacement first stinger went smooth. Bought same kit same retailer. This time when shifter is pushed down and button is functional, the car says “shift to park” it is in parked and locked out. However the vehicle will shut down the engine but won’t exit the accessory ignition position.
After further investigation, I looked at both assemblies and stock shifter has a pin the rests in the shifter solenoid that’s perpendicular to the vehicle (left/right) which matches a U shape resting area in the solenoid. When looking at the N shifter that pin is parallel to vehicle (forward/backwards). Therefore this pin is 90 degrees off and causing the solenoid not to travel to its upmost position telling the vehicle it is not in park. Hard to believe but car recognizes the shift through gears, drives fine, and even locks and unlocks doors when moving from drive to park shifts.
Pulled N shifter and tested same thing with no shift knob and realized if solenoid isn’t fully up car will not shut down accessory mode. Leaving vehicle in on/accessory mode.
See photos….. share any thoughts and curious if anyone has the N shifter not installed if they can snap a photo that shows pin configuration?? Or if anyone else has experienced this issue?
