How do I get the stock cue ball off my shift rod?
Bought a cool chrome ball to replace it and can't see any allen screw holding the original on. Arrgghhhh...

Only kidding...if there's no screw just put a lot of pressure on it and turn! It's probably threaded and has "lock-tight" to hold it in place.

Which model do you have?

On my 02 the manual trans shift knob was held on by a notch in the shift rod. A mighty tug (pulling straight up) removed it. I have read that some are so well pressed on that you might need to put a large open end wrench under the knob and tap up on it with a hammer.

Now I got the Hurst shifter, and a screw-on 8-ball.

On mine there is a set screw on the bottom. You will need a small allen wrench.

I have a 2003 base model standard 5 speed tranny.
