Automatic shift knob removal...

Just curious if anyone has any idea on how to remove the shift knob on an automatic? I have an 09 SXT. Thanks.

Welcome!!

The '07 and '08 Calibers you just yank straight up. i assume the '09 is similar

Even though it's an automatic? It must be pretty difficult because I've had no luck with that so far.

Just dont punch yourself in the face when you yank it off. I couldnt definetly see that happening to someone out there.

Ya, I read the thread on the guy that did that. I got it off after I jump over to the passenger seat and pulled with my shoulder rather than my arm. Honestly, the shift knobs aren't made for the thinner shafts and are loose anyway so it wasn't all that worth it but I'll run what I put on there until something better comes along.

so who actually makes a decent looking knob to fit over the skinny @$$ shaft that the autos have?
