To remove the shifter knob on a 2007 Jeep Wrangler, first, place the vehicle in neutral or park. Locate the small rubber cover at the base of the knob and gently pry it off to expose the retaining screw. Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the screw, then pull the shifter knob straight up to detach it from the shifter shaft. Be careful not to damage any surrounding components during the process.
disconnect clutch, disconnect drive shaft, remove trans brace, and slide transmission back and out of the flywheel being careful not to tilt it until it is free. you may need to remove the shifter to get enough room to slide it back.
