Give it a little twist while you pull, but nothing extreme.

Get a screwdriver and use the top of the gearshift for leverage. Be careful not to damage gearshift (or yourself).

Hey what does this big staple look like? Gear shift knob comes off, wife wants it fixed. Anyone have a picture? Auto parts store didnt have one, I got an eclip but that will take some modifications.
