Removing auto shift knob

[jellomonk]

I've looked all over and I found a bunch of info on how to pull off a manual knob.

What I want to is, is there a way to unscrew or pull of the shift knob on a automatic?

I drive a Eddie bauer 5.0 1997. I Looked thought the service manual and it only shows how to remove the shift lever completely.

Thanks.

Is there any way to convert it to accept after market shift knobs?

i would go to boneyard and find one like yours,, chuck it up in a soft jaws vice,, break the knob off, find a know u like and make the stick fit your knowb, either by rethreading your stick or welding the appropriate bolt to ypur prepared stick, buck

sorry, i forgot about the multi function switch on that stalk, is your shifter on the steer column or console??? what kind of knob do you like??

It has an o/d button on the end and its on the shift column. I already have a knob and it came with adapters for like 3 different threads. M8, M10 and M12 thread pitch.

I was looking because I want to put an aftermarket knob on too. I was thinking about tapping the end and screwing a switch in the threads and hooking up the wires to it for the overdrive. I know the post is kind of old. Did you have any luck with it?

I think it's just pressed on the ribs at the end. The one on my XLT keeps working it's way off. I don't see anything that holds it on.
