I had trouble taking my shift knob too, but I think there's a trick to it.
Don't gradually put pressure on it, but instead twist it with a sharp snap.

my240likenoother, if you cut 2 inches off of it, that leaves no thread.  how do you keep the knob on then (without using super glue)?  i could see maybe an inch, but 2?

Aftermarket shift-knobs don't get screwed directly onto the shifter. MOMOs use little screws that "bite" into the metal part of the shifter, so as long as the base isn't too thick, you're good to go.

How do you cut your shifter anyway?!?!?!

my razo knob does screw in.  it came with a hard plastic piece that is smooth.  as you turn it on the threads, the grooves form.  then i take it off, add some locktite, and put it back on.

hacksaws are good for cutting shifters.  i'd lend you mine, but i don't think you'd give it back.
