Before I yank out something, crack or break something, how do I remove the manual shifter knob?

By chance, what is the diameter of the shift shaft?

I have a 8 Ball knob from my PT Cruiser that I would like to transfer to my HHR SS.

Thanks,

How to new shift boot and short shifter

Welcome to the site

 

That one won't work on the SS.

 

Do you mean Crazy Steve's contribution won"t work?

 

No mine will, it is on an 08 SS

 

The quoted one from Hills is for the non SS MTX's.

 

A screw on shifter knob won't work on an SS because of the top of the shifter being female threaded instead of male.
