Hi lets chat over here instead pm. Try Google which i did, once you pry open the gaiter, i m sure you can figure how to remove the gear knob. Some clsims that by pulling the fear knobs upwards will able to remive it. But becareful, some broke their two front teeth by doing so. Enjoy!!

Don't know whether this helps, copy from one webby....

 

Here are instructions and a couple videos for knob replacement:

1. The leather boot is stapled to a rectangular plastic frame that slides into the console’s rectangular trim. Remove the boot at the console by slightly pushing in on the leather on the driver’s side approximately 1 inch from the top and bottom. The leather boot will easily slip out of the console. (See You Tube video below.) 

2. Turn the leather boot inside out. Loosen the first collar by turning counter-clockwise ¼ turn. (Looking at the shift from the top with your hand under the boot) Underneath is a second plastic collar which secures four flanges against a groove around the shift rod. These four flanges form the base of the shift.

 

3. This second collar has to be pushed up against the shift, away from the flanges in order to loosen the flanges from the groove around the rod. By now you should be able to pull the shift, second collar and the shift boot from the shift rod.

 

4. You still have the shift boot between the base of the shift with the four flanges and the second collar. By pushing the 4 flanges in, you disengage the collar from the base of the shift, and free the boot.

 

5. To install the new shift knob. Unscrew the chrome dome shaped fitting from the base of the shift. Place five parts onto the shaft in this order: First put the knurled ring on the shaft, then the nylon ring flat side down, then the leather boot, then the chrome domed fitting, then install the shift itself onto the shaft.

Make sure the shift is fully seated on the shaft and facing the right direction. Next screw on the chrome dome shaped fitting to the base of the shift, which holds the shift firmly in place. Next, push the leather boot against the underside of the chrome dome shaped fitting. Bring up the nylon ring against the leather boot. Make sure that the boot is straight and not twisted. Hold boot into position by screwing the knurled ring against the nylon ring. Lastly, re-insert the base of the leather boot into the console’s rectangular trim.
 

Please take a look at the videos linked below.
