You're very lucky then.

I suppose if you can turn the know without tools the linkage might be ok.

Btw, after you raise the boot and its ring, make sure to place a towel under it cause the metal clips will very easily scratch your center console.

here are some pictures I took of the new shift knob for those interested, its the aluminum nismo one. I like it a lot, it have a very mechanical feel to it, you can feel all the clanks and vibrations from the transmission in your hand. It is lighter than the stock one though, so some people may not like it.
