So jokes aside,
I believe the correct course of action is to twist and pull your knob till it comes off.
see even done as straight advice how can it not sound like a joke??

I find the word 'knob' to be hilarious. Go ahead, judge me

Mine took a tremendous amount of brute force. I thought I was going to damage the car - turns out the bitch bit me instead; ended up bleeding profusely from a big flap of skin that got ripped up.
Top tip: wear some grippy gloves, and if needs be, dust them up with some chalk for extra grip.
You may find that your gear knob comes off without much fuss, LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO, in which case I'm damned jealous.

While you have it off you might as well do the following...

Maybe a few wraps of PTFE tape or some other thin flexible tape round your shaft will help your knob stay stiff and no longer be floppy
how can you really expect any of us on here not to make sniggering like sounds to any of this

No you don't! I haven't paid anything, there's a little pressure to become a "full" member but basic membership is free.... I
might upgrade when I actually have a coupe
