How do you remove a shift knob on the 08 TL? I've read that you just unscrew it but that's on 04-06 TLs. I've tried to counter clockwise unscrew it but doesn't seem to budge. Any ideas? Try harder?

Twist the shift boot collar a bit and pull down and the collar should slide down. (there's a clip that holds the collar to the shift knob) If you have trouble getting the shift knob broken loose a nylon strap style filter wrench works great without damaging the leather on the knob.

I've read that post before. I think they changed how the shift knob comes off when they redesigned the interior of the TL from 04-06 to 07-08Originally Posted by LoveMyTL-S

AT <=> MT
AT = screw on/screw off
MT has the boot and collar.
When a question is posted it helps EVERYBODY if the OP lists year, transmission and/or trim.

And does it take some elbow grease to get the knob off?

I nearly killed my wrist taking the knob off my old Maxima. Nylon strap filter wrench did the trick and only cost $5 at the auto parts store.
Lol, haven't checked this in a long time.
Got it unscrewed :/ easy and simple. Feeling like an idiot.
But now time for a new shift knob! Which kind should i get? Any ideas?

Why are you so Asian?
Sorry I had to. No disrespect intended.
Anyways, I had a bitch of a time getting my shift knob off BUT it finally came undone.

Well Asia is a large area so I'm sure there are different "kinds" per se. Think about it, people from up north in America (effing Yankees) act and do stuff differently than people down south.Originally Posted by TheDingo

If it's a 6mt I love my Voodoo Titanium knob. Cost a fortune but it feels great, lowers the shifter height about an inch, has great weight to it, and perfectly matches the shiny parts of the interior of my car.
