Absolutely: Stock shift knob removal. At the bottom of the shift knob and facing the front of the car, there is what is effectively a sturdy staple that retains the stock shift knob in place. The legs of the staple are about 3/4 inch long. Using the tiny screwdriver, gently pry out and remove the staple. The staple should come out with moderate force or less, and once it is partially out you can pull it out with your fingers or the needle nose pliers. The room to pry under the staple is so slight that you may not be able to use a protective cloth. The head of the staple is shown in the photo, and note that the photo is taken from the front of the car looking downward. Step 4b: Once the staple from step 4a is removed, the automatic shift knob simply slides off by lifting it upward. You can buy an A4 shift knob adapter at Ecklers or other Corvette parts vendors so that any manual tranny C5 shift knob will fit. Here''s a picture of the adapter with a purple knob for a somewhat rare purple C5: http://www.conceptualpolymer.com/images/PurpleA4.jpg
