2. squeeze in on the button on the side.
4. pull straight up on knob with force (lots the first time). (watch out for your hand hitting the center console, too.)

re-install is exact reverse.

is there any recomended after market shift knob?
something that looks similar to the new R32 tiptronic maybe???
