[AT] shifter knob removal

[Michael P. Maynard]

My suggestion is to go buy a new one with every intention that the old one
will break.....   old one will 'fall off' then... :-)

Subject: [AT] shifter knob removal

Well I finally broke down and paid the price for a new rubber shift boot to
replace the worn out one on the 730 Case diesel. It was allowing water into
the transmission as evidenced by the awful greyish green watery liquid that
was passing for trans hydraulic fluid. Now I have some clean oil in there
and would like to keep it that way.
The problem is that to install this new rubber boot I have to remove the
shift knob. So far it has resisted my attempts to remove it. I don't even
know for sure if this knob is threaded on or just a knurled fit on the
lever. Either way I am dealing with 40 year old plastic and would like to
avoid damaging it if possible.
Has anybody on the list ever found a safe way to remove these plastic shift
knob?
