Bigal is correct, we just changed one on my buddies Magnum and it was tight at first but then it came right off..Be Gentle..

I've been wanting to change mine too but the ones i've seen say for " manual transmission only" Does it really matter or do I need to find one for an automatic?

Best to all Tom

the only thing that really matters is the size of the shaft most come with adapters...I got one from MOMO and it works good had to use an adaptor and toth is day no problems at all..

I found that the Manual shifter replacements will fit much better than the one's listed as automatic. It's because the shifter shaft is smaller in diameter than the standard automatic shafts.

The original will be hard to unscrew at first as I'm pretty sure the OEM uses a bit of lock tight material.

Thanks For The Info Fellas! Ive Been Wanting To Repalce My Shifter Knob Too, But It Seems That The Only Ones You Can Find Are Manual Transmissions! Im Glad I Know Now That I Can Go With One For A Manual Transmission.
