hey, i bought my car used, and it has a momo shiftknob on it. I am trying to take it off but its not working. Can anyone tell me how to do this correctly? thanks.

I think it is a Momo "combat" shiftknob.

unscrew it

Spade

Check on the sides of the **** and see if there are allen screws, a lot of aftermarket shift ***** slide on and then screw into the side of the shifter.....kinda dig into the shifter and make them look ugly.

theres like a cap that screws up under the shiftknob to cover the allen screws that go in the side.. i think. i cant really get it off, but thanks for your input.

Unscrew the cap... loosen the allen screws... it will lift right off. There may also be a plastic shim/cap that fits over the shift lever that the allen screws bite into.

I love my leather Momo Super Ergonomic shift ****. 9.5 years and going strong. They also made great groomsmen gifts when I got married!

hmm, that cap is like stuck on very tightly. I cant seem to get it off.. and I dont have any tools that can get a good grip on it. will anything help?

Try using a rubber "gripper" like you use to help take off screw on lids in the kitchen. Or a pair of soft jawed pliers would work. Of course.... you "are" trying to turn the cap the correct way?

ok i got it off.. thanks for all your help.
