If you are trying to remove it without damaging it good luck. When I removed mine it came off in multiple pieces.

2). Assemble the following: two pipe wrenches, a towel, wire brush, and a friend.

3). Attach wrench #1 to shift knob. Wrap towel around shifter (shaft) and attach wrench #2. Have your friend hold wrench #2 steady so you don't torque the gearbox and go to town on the shift knob. It'll come off. Use wire brush to clean threading on shaft.

Nissan uses a ridiculous amount of loctite on the OEM shift knob for reasons I will never understand - especially considering they sell aftermarket shift knobs.
