SOURCE: gear knob
The manual knobs are on there really tight but they're just twisted on. You need to turn like crazy on it to get it loose. You can wrap a towel around it and use channelock pliers or a big wrench if need be.

The clip seems to be a use once and destroy during removal. I used a nylon tie and the home mechanics friend (duct tape) to fasten the new gaiter. Not perfect but quite usable and avoided a trip to the dealer.

For this year, the knob wasn't screwed on, it was more of a snap on rig. The easiest way is to just get some leverage and pull like hell! Or use a screw driver. Just be careful not to scratch anything! Good luck!

Look closely at the underside of the gear knob and you will see how to unattach the gater from the lever / knob...
Then you need a very firm grip - twist the gearknob 90 degrees to the left.... once its in that position it will pull off.... may be stiff at this point too - but it should pull off now...
