Grab it gingerly under the knob, right where the leather meets knob and thrust.

You drive an MR right? Grab the reverse collar and shift with that. Its what I do on really hot days. On cold days I just man up.

Your first/easiest choice should be to man up

Pics would be nice too
I have a JDM leather 6 spd knob for sale. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Step 1: Take off your right shoe.
Step 2: Take off your right sock.
Step 3: Place right sock over shift knob.
Step 4: Enjoy your new sock shift knob that has been preheated by your feet.

....haha, ok, in all seriousness, ive had friends that wrap them in yarn or rubber bands for the season, looks kinda cool if done correctly.
