Original shift lever cross-section is rectangular so the knob will not rotate.... But the lever has notches that the knob catches on, this is what you have to overcome pulling it straight out. Also the slot of knob is lined with felt... Not sure if ibetter than Chevy but it is very well designed.
I put a custom wood knob with alum tube over the lever, no spring fingers inside to catch the notches, too complicated to replicate factory design, so it just has set screws.
