Is it hard to change a gear shift knob?

Have a Pontiac Grand Prix and my dog chewed up my leather gear shift knob. I can buy another one but is it just a matter of unscrewing the old and screwing on the new? It has a button for shifting into Reverse, etc.|||your shift knob has a U-Shaped metal clip on the front side of it. you will need to use a screwdriver to pry that clip out. keep this clip for the new knob. once the clip is out, the knob can be pulled upwards off the shaft it rests on. the knob may be wiggled around as it is being pulled up. be careful as you are pulling it up as to not break or bend the wire linkage in the knob. the wire will hook into he new knob. slide the new knob on the shaft and re-insert the metal clip. make sure everything is tight and works properly and there ya go. not too hard, but will take ten or fifteen minutes. good luck!|||ones for manual cars just screw off. never tried it in an automatic. i would imagine it%26#039;s something similar. far from difficult|||I am sure it will not be a put on - put off job. take it to a trustworthy mechanic and have it looked at first, before you buy a new gear knob. Knobs in automatics have wires and lever connected which can be quite a handful if not handled by an expert. All the best.|||SORRY IT %26quot;NOT%26quot;.... SCREW ON SCREW OFF!!!


It has a clip that needs to be removed and do watch out for flying parts %26amp; pieces|||I have an olds alero, same thing happened to me, you can pay big bucks for leather or just plastic for a lot less. smitty %26amp; wiz right on, nothing to it, look for the clip , push it out, lift it off,install new one re insert the clip the button on the side has a spring behind it, but it shouldn%26#039;t give you much trouble
