Jim, my MY97 had no set screw. You really do just unclip the base and yank straight up! I imagine some model years have the set screw, but mine doesn't.

Hi,
Just quoting from the Dealer's Service Manual - no Model Year Specificity noted...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Here is a copy of the more serious posting I gave to Blinkwatt a few months ago:
"To remove the boot and knob you would first have to pry gentle up on the bottom edge of it. The bottom of the boot is snapped into the console. Next lift the boot over the knob to expose the back of the shift knob. Should there be a 5mm Allen loosen it and then just lift the knob off of the shaft. All other manual shift knobs without the 5mm Allen are simply pushed on and require more lifting force to be removed on the 986 and 996 models."
