I also think the chrome collar is more decorative than contributing to attachment of the knob. The gear knob is screwed on and then the collar adjusted to be a snug fit against it to avoid leaving any unsightly gap.
It's been six years since I did this so memory could be playing tricks!

Graham's correct, it's a special pin tool which holds the collar, then the knob unscrews. Usually it had some thread lock on it so it can take a firm left turn to loosen.

I removed mine last summer to replace the shift gate cover. The shift knob is easily removed by gripping and unscrewing it, that collar can then be unscrewed. To reinstall, screw the collar down the threads then put some lock tight on the upper threads and screw the knob down. Screw the collar back up to meet the knob and allow the thread locker to dry. This can all be done without tools.

I think people can tend to get overly corrective here. Someone suggested I use the search function, yet if they had done that themselves they would have seen the question hadn't been answered. If the point is to avoid wasted time and space, it seems a little counter productive.
That all being said, I in no way mean any disrespect to the mods and all the time and effort they put into the forum.

You also could have stated "Searched, couldn't find anything."
Go ahead and get pissy though, if that's what you want to do. That's what MOST new members do anyway when nobody instantly provides them with the exact factory-approved methods and equipment instantaneously for their exact problem.
****, man. I usually don't get riled up so much.

That was me. I showed you NINE threads with pertinent information, each with many replies. WHY would you think that I'd care to search all those hundred+ threads to find YOU an answer? I don't even have that shifter, and don't give a crap about knowing the nomenclature of a "pin Spanner, just use some Non-Marring pliers like the rest of the world.

I'm actually not a new member. I joined 9 years ago when I got my first, an XK-8. I strayed to Porsche, but saw the error in my ways and returned last month with an XK. It's the most beautiful, well built car I've had.
