type-s owners.....shift knob question

wanted to mess around with the shift knob a little bit and i was wondering if you can remove the clear rubbery type thing in front of the S symbol on the shifter. have a little idea, but i cant do it until i get that piece off.

thanks

I'll reply because I feel sorry for you.

I have a Type S and have no idea what you are talking about.

I have an auto that may be why.

i have an auto as well. ok, we all have a shift knob right? for the type-s owners, on the top of the shift knob should say type s with a clear rubbery piece over it. i want to get to that type s symbol under the rubbery piece, how do i get to it?

get it now.

I think the "Type S" is actually printed on the back of the clear plastic.

Pop it out and see.

It's most likely moulded directly into the entire piece of plastic.

The emblem on the top of the auto shift knob is most likely an epoxy dome making the logo part of that "clear rubbery" part. I'm not 100% but I think thats how it is.

nope, just making a little change. if i figure how to get that rubbery piece off, it will be very easy to make this little change i have in store.
