Shift Knob Replacement
I just got a wood shift knob from a salvage 123. It pulled off easily. Does anyone know how to remove the one on the car? I can't see any set screws or fasteners. I just want to find the correct removal method before I start twisting and turning.
Thanks.

From what did it pull off easily? The shift knob is supposedly integral with the metal lever that extends through the console gate and threads into the shift mechanism.
I think that on a W123 you somehow lift the panel that contains the gate and window switches to access a lock nut so you can spin off the shift knob. Sixto 91 300SE 87 300SDL 83 300SD

Sixto, thanks for the reply. Guess I goofed. I was in a local MB salvage yard getting a Hazard Flasher out of the center console of a 300D with a wood knob. I turned the knob and it seem to screw off the shift stick. I got it for $5. Guess I need to go back to the yard and buy the stick and reattach the knob before I tear up the one in the car.
Thanks for your help.
