Changing Shifting Knobs and Need Help
 

Can someone please tell me how to get the shifting knob and sick out so i can put a new one on there! Please Thank You!!

Are you changing just the shift knob or the shift lever?

The shift knob can be removed by loosening the lock nut at the bottom of the shift knob - yes, that shiny thing is a jam nut.&nbsp Once you get the loosened, the shift knob should screw right out.

If you want to remove the entire shift lever, it's a little more involved.

just the knob i appreciate it the stock boot is kinda warn out so im going to buy a new one tomorrow!!!

You REALLY need to buy a copy of the Haynes manual and learn more about your car before you do too many mods. I'd hate to see you do something you'll regret later because you didn't have a very inexpensive book to give you the info you need.

That boot has a goofy attachment to the console. Be careful with it or you'll break all the little plastic tabs.

call mazda or mazdatrix for a replacement boot attached tothe piece of plastic its the easiest way to get a new one on right .trust me i tried going the cheap route.

and just twist the knob counter clockwise to get it off then spin the set ring under it off hte same way.

yeah i know about the bottem teeth. Autozone didn't have that book so im going to get them to order one tomorrow also : P it should help me understand more about what you guys are talking about when you go in depth about certain things!
