shifter handle removal
 

Hi All:
First of all thanks for the leaky sunroof advice, the weed wacker line is a great idea!! Now for another tricky problem......anybody ever remove the shifter handle/grip from the post, the grip that has the trigger mechanism in it? I wanted to rework the black tape that is on the spring steel slide cover.
Thanks
Scott

you should have a clip at the bottom of the shifter you will need some kind of a hook to pull out

If it's like the allante the clip will be in frontt (dashboard side) of shifter.

Clip for gear knob shifter on 2015 XTS
 

Anyone have any idea where I might purchase the small clip that holds the gear shifter knob to the shaft for a 2015 XTS. I had to remove the console and as a result had to remove the knob from the automatic transmission shifter. The clip flew out and I can't find it. Talked to parts department at Cadillac and they tell me I have to purchase the whole knob assembly with leather boot - at least $125 for that. I need a 25 cent clip but have no idea what size etc. Thanks

I call it a "shifter staple thingy" or at least that's the technical name for it. That same part was used extensively by GM in almost all console shifter cars of a vintage close to your car.
