how about the traditional unscrewing it, tried that?
That would be my first avenue of investigation, certainly before 'yanking it'... |

they are just glued on i think. mine used to get thrown onto the backseat on an excited gear change...looked like just glue to me. |

they ain't screwed on andthey are not glued on either.
The gear knob has a hole smaller than the stick, its forced on and then doesn't move, or thats the theory.
Get mole grips on it or hacksaw it off. |

aye they normally loosen off and spin, so superglue holds em on. |
