Shift Knob
Hey i have a 2008 Lancer with CVT, im looking to swap out the origional shift knob with an aftermarket one. Does anyone know how to remove the stock shift knob? Also if possible does anyone know howto remove the black trim around the silver shift indicator plate?
You'd have to pop off the center console to get at that trim.

black, i found a nice tutorial on another forum (ProjectLancer) that was alot of help in taking the knob off. It is the following. (The Green Text is What I Added Due to Personal Experiance on taking the knob off)
The silver collar on the bottom of the shift knob is just clipped on, but very well. You pull straight dwn using a lil elbow grease (I Advise you to twist it while pulling down, it tends to slide off alot easier)
There is a metal retainer sleeve that the Knob slide over and locks into place. There will b 2 tabs that you will need to depress in order to slide knob up.
(They are inside two little plastic squares)
once you have the knob off, you will c how the metal sleeve locks into place. you can use pliers to turn the sleeve 90 degrees and pull up.

Interesting. Thanks.
What's funny is that the
instructions for knob removal are "Pull up." Obviously, what you showed also includes knob disassembly, which is good to know about.
