Shift Knob

Yup, gotta loosen the lock nut first, then the shift knob should come off pretty easily. As for the wood shift knob, I was thinking of replacing my tan one with a wood grain one, but then realized the grain wouldn't match the rest of the wood in the console, so I replaced it with a black leather one instead. I'm quite happy with the black leather knob. I'm sure the non-matching wood grain one would've driven my first-born, attention-to-detail, OCD-brain insane, lol!

Thanks Shaune for posting that example. Am in the process of ordering one that I didn't previously know I needed until I saw that beauty!
I have swapped mine between XKR and X300, and inadvertantly wrecked my original leather knob applying brute force! The lock nut is not immediately obvious looking from above, but it is shown clearly in Grant's diagram.
It's the tapered metal bezel immediately below the knob, and if you look carefully there are 2 flat surfaces, 1 on either side at the widest part of this. (at the top). You can get a crescent onto this and loosen the nut, and the knob screws off easily. I discovered this too late for my poor old leather original. But no lovely burl walnut knobs were harmed because of this!

the foil ring all around the top came lose the first day and looked like crap. the rest of the knob seemed allright and i kept it as i did not want to go through the pain of a return etc. so i put it on the lathe and removed all the foil and the glue and then i rolled into the groove a viton "O" ring which goes well with the brown wood.
bottom line if i knew how bad they are i would not have bought it
