SD Swede: Thanks! #2 is being glued up.
I have tried to remove my stock knob to be able to remove the shift boot, and get to the sifter mechanism. I have a large wrench that is a nice tight fit, and I taped up the edges of the metal open end wrench. I had a friend hold the shift lever shaft, and I whacked the wrench about as had as i could, and all I did was make noise. I suspect I will have to destroy my current knob to get it off.

I am just not ready to do that as yet.
