I was just wondering if anyone had actually done this and had any information on whether installing a new shift knob was a big deal. Is it possible to get the old knob back on if necessary? How long does it all take? Thanks a bunch guys.

It may seem like it won't come off but give it some good arm torque and off it goes.Twist counterclock wise.

Thanks guys! I was hoping it was just a screw-off, but it seemed on there pretty tight! I'll go check out the knobs this weekend. Thanks again!

Does anyone have a pic of the Cougar MTX knob? Does it work with the reverse lock out?

My 2 cents.  I have a 96 GL and my mtx knob came right off. I am not a buff guy in any sense either. Go back out to you car and give it another try. You can do it. ------------------ AJ Lemke ********* 96 GL 2.0L Zetec
