N00b Q- Shift knob.

Just try unscrewing the knob and if it isn't stuck to the boot you should be ok on that, and most aftermarket knobs aren't threaded, they have three adjustment screws on the side that you have to tighten to get them to fit, unless you buy a car specific one.

Make extra sure before trying anything. I know the F-Body shift knobs are threaded on, and the aftermarket knobs thread on also.

 

If it's glued on, use some elbow grease and start cranking on it to break the glue seal. Once you get it off, remove any remaining glue and install the new one.

Be sure to check for a backup nut, it would be just below the knob. It locks down the knob to keep it from backing off and allows it to be indexed in any direction. If you find one simply thread it further down the shifter and the knob will easily spin off.
