CVT shift knob?
Any of you guys take it off yet? I tried to turn it (testing to see if it was threaded on), but I didn't want to break it. I'd love it if it was a basic threaded setup and I could get my Ralliart shift knob again...

Put the car in neutral and follow instructions:
It'll take a little bit of strength to pop off the knob, so be careful not to hit yourself in the face.

Thank you!
Unfortunately, if you just pull straight up, that means we can't get aftermarket shift knobs.
Damnit. I really wanted the Ralliart shift knob I had in my old Lancer.

Then again, it would look kind of weird... to have a knob with a collar as wide as the Ralliart on such a thin stalk.
I have an ARC teardrop knob lying around. I may try this with that.

Wasn't sure what material the rod was made out of. I didn't want to pull out the tap & die set only to find out it was plastic. 
I may still give it a shot. I appreciate the info you posted!

The rod is roughly 8mm. Since 
uses a 10mm thread pitch, you'd need some sort of adapter to make use of a Lancer-specific knob. I'm starting to accept that I won't be getting a Ralliart shift knob.

"Oh oh yeah, look at this, you put an extra nut and thread on your rod, that clearly caused your transmission to blow up then drop out onto the highway and get ran over by a semi becoming completely unsalvagable.. this one.. single.. little.. nut. Oh well looks like your warranty is void. Have a good one!"
