Effing shift knob
This thing will not budge, anyone know any tricks to make it come loose. It feels like nissan put loctite in these damn things!!

do you still need it. if not vice grips should work. might even try putting a thick rag or towel around it so the damage is minimal if you still need it

No loctite, just glue. I've heard a towel and a vice are one way some people go about it, but I don't think there's a way that will guarantee your knob survives.

Edit: I need to learn to type faster...

I used a shamwow and channel locks. Shamwow kept from scratching the knob and it came off with a bunch of force.
