I popped myself in the forehead the first time I pulled off my shift knob. Porsche doesn't want those suckers to come off.

Actually, I find that they come off rather easily. Trick is to put the shifter in 2nd gear first, and then pull towards your chest. Makes it easier to get leverage to pull in 2nd gear, as you're not pulling straight up. Comes right off, with no drama.
