How the heck to you remove a shifter knob from a shaft?
I've tried pulling with all my might, I've tried unscrewing it. I've looked down the shaft and there are no pins.....any help would be appreciated.

They are threaded on but are very tight,should be a jamb nut under the knob.Back the jamb nut away from the knob and then unthread the knob.

I pulled it as far away from the shaft as I could and I still couldn't see anything. Anyone have any fiber optics I could borrow? |

I once had to use a big pipe wrench to get one off.

Tooch,
You need to pry off the center cap of the knob (thin disk with the shift pattern on it). Use a really small screw driver or thin knife. There is a bolt under there that threads into the shaft.

Maybe all the difficulty you're having is God's way of telling you that your Jeep really doesn't want a yellow neon shift knob.

I'm not getting a yellow knob, but my knob is upside down and it's been driving me nuts for a while. Yesterday I finally said I'm going to fix it and turn it right side up. |

It's not the knob, you knob, its just the disc in the center. You can fix it, but it will just spin again.
Free mod. Replace the shift pattern disc with a bottle cap from your favorite beverage. Perfect fit!
