Here's the deal from my local Ford Service dept....The knob is "pressed" on and not designed to be removed...for all those folks who have had it come off when down shifting!...BUT...there is a replacement knob available from Ford by special order...and SURPRISE..it has been modified with a set screw addition for "positive handle retention"...

I don't know about you guys, but in my book, this sounds like it should have been a recall issue...the new "knob" for AOD shifters costs $19.95 + tax.

Now all I have to do is continue asking around to find out how to remove my old one.
