Default Re: Removal of shift knob?

I had the shifter cap break off when it was 2 months old. I went into the dealer and they had to order an entire shifter to replace the (what they said was a $3 part).

I went in when they called only to find they had ordered an automatic shifter.

3 weeks later they got the new shifter in and installed it. The mechanic over torqued the thing during installation which resulted in a whining sound in 1st, 3rd, and 5th. I took it in and they denied the noise existed, claiming the K&N air kit was the cause.

Over a few months the noise is now limited to 5th gear and I put up with an annoying high pitched noise.

My advise is to not mess with it unless you know a high quality mechanic you really trust.
