It's pretty inconsistent. Some people just twisted and had no problem. I had to destroy mine to get it off. Had to get a channel lock to hold the shifter still, then wrap a strap wrench around the knob and twist. It didn't budge until the wrench torqued it so hard that it crushed the knob.

It depends on how much Loctite they put on the knob when they built the car.
