hey everyone, i have two 2009 chevy hhrs one has a leather shifter knob on it and my other hhr has a plastic one how do you remove the shifter knob. it has a leather shifter boot please help

 

This thd is for an 07 but should be the same or very close for you to get the job done. Here is the thd on it https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...t=shifter+knob

 

i found that post ive been on here most of the day looking . i have the2009 which has the boot if you push the boot down theres a plastic spacer but set screw anyone know how to remove this shifter(automatic) thanks

 

Forgot the 09 was different. There have been a couple guys that put the 09 unit in their older HHRs. Bet they know how to switch the knob but not many posting today being a holiday and those with families aren't worried about the forum right now. Bet one of them will post in a day or so.
With luck Brad (ChevyMgr) will post a pic on "how to" since he has all that info at dealership

 

I know on my 08, you have to pry the chrome sleave downwards to get to the set screw. I dont know if it is the same for the 09 though.

 

I just did mine today I have an 07 panel and put on 09 leather boot on The 09 has a black plastic ring under the knob just give the black ring a 1/2 turn and it will drop then you can see the allen screw that has to be turned out almost all the way. I didn't like the chrome on the 09 knob so I put the knob from the 07 back on the new shifter. I am going to change the complete shifter assembly in the spring when the weather warms up because I don't have a heated garage.

 

THANKS HARRISON THAT WAS A BIG HELP

 

No problem I have gotten lots of help from others Love the clean look of the new shifter
