Can anyone help me? I got a shifter knob and was trying to get my old one off. I have a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire. but i cant unscrew it and theres no bolt to unscrew. But theres a little like slit on the front. Any Help here.

There's a U clip in that slit. Take a small flathead screwdriver and pry it out.

i looked for it and couldn't find the u clip

the U clip can get pushed in sometimes. try to find it with the flathead. if theres nothing there then just pull up on the shift knob

I cut mine off when I did my short shifter. lol.

Get all the parts you need in a pile, and drive the car into it.
They will find their way into the correct places.

there's guaranteed to be a clip in the slot in the front. look harder

i used a pair of really skinny needle nosed pliers when i took mine off.. try that.. or even a pair of tweezers if you throw them out afterwards bc they can fit in a lot of places that a flathead screwdriver cant. bend the tweezers all the way open where its opened up and get a good grip on one end and stick it there as far as you can then lean it back, that should catch the u-clip.. the tweezers should be able to at least pull it out enough you can grab it with the pliers or a flathead..
