If you wanted to see if it is accessible from top, you would have to remove all the boot covers. The leather and #6.
Anyway, my point is that the twisting motion required to remove the original shift knob, would be transmitted into the shaft #10. Anything attached in line to that, would be vulnerable to the force applied.
If you are feeling something, I would start there.

I finally got it off. I wrapped it in masking tape first, and then duct tape so that it wouldn’t leave any adhesive on the knob. Then I pulled the boot up so that I could see the shift linkage underneath, and wrapped tape around it with a marking that lined up with the rubber piece (#6). This would allow me to see if the linkage was twisting or turning, since I didn’t have another hand to hold it in place. I did one extremely hard twist with the strap wrench and then I felt it begin to twist. I did a few more rotations with the strap wrench, and then removed it and attached a wrench to the knob with duct tape so that I could spin the knob with more leverage. My knob came off perfectly fine with no damage. I will be making a tutorial of this soon on my YouTube channel if anyone is confused. Link is in my bio.
