Just pull straight up on it. Takes a bit of hoss to get off and I will warn you to be careful since I ended up busting my lip when the thing finally came off and my hand flew into my lip

I have the CVT and the shifter knob pulled right off, you really gotta pull though. I noticed you have the manual trans, dunno for sure if they pull off too.

Yes. Just give it a mighty yank! I replaced mine with a round knob. Something I can wrap my fingers underneath. If need be, you can run a 1/2" fine, die over it. It is hard as heck to get it started though. The rod is chromed and the top of it has a flat side.

Anyone have the Dealer Item # for the shift knob with the word "JEEP" on it.

I wonder how many Pat owners have placed a black 8-ball shifter know, or a skull knob on yet

shift grenade

I have an 8 ball shift knob on my CJ-7, but I was looking for something different for "Sarge". In keeping with the theme and the colour of our Patriot named Sarge, I purchased an inert WWII hand grenade which I am going to thread onto my shift rod.

does anyone know if this is still true on the 2010 Patriot 5-speed?
does the know just pull off?

I want to change the horrid rubber gear lever gaiter. So I have to remove the gear knob. I have pulled and pulled but no joy. Could be I'm just weak or I don't want to break something.

 

[niblips]

well... if it's a 2010 it may not come off.....

I THINK I just ordered that one from the mopar website. Unfortunately, it didn't have any part numbers so I can't be sure. It was from the 2007 Compass parts catalog and was around $13.

there is a tab you have to push down on, then it pops off with no effort, as for the mopar accessory knob, it wont fit the manual trans, neither will the auto one.

I have a skull one , it used to be on my MGF, but I haven't put it on the Patriot yet, because I couldn't work out how to remove the current one.

I thought it had a screw in it somewhere, as all the ones I looked at on flea bay seemed to come with an Allen key.

its the bottom part pf the knob that is cone like, that part slides down, and the knob lifts up, i would post pics, but my camera isnt hear and my patriot is in storage

Remove Gear knob

I just removed my 2010 gear knob.
As mentioned earlier grasp the hour glass shaped black moulding just under the main knob and oull downwards. It pops over a groove in the shift arm.

Unfortunately the upper knob is press fit over knurled shift arm so prize off the crome plastic shift top with the gear directions the hack saw across the top till you feel metal. Then do from top groove down two sides and prize open revealing the Knurled metal.
Now fit the new knob per their instructions (usualy press fit or crub screws thr a cylinder over the shift (arm).

Once you fit the new knob pull up the plastic hour glass snug under the knob and bobs yer uncle epper:

So in my 2009 Pat Transmatic, if I wanted to put in the Mopar T-Handle shift knob, all I am doing is pulling the stock knob off and replacing the new knob without messing with any console unscrewing to get to the shift panel?

I'm so lost because there are millions (hypothetically speaking) of different ways to mess with it.
