The best way to do it is to sit sideways on the seat with the gearshift between your knees. Cup both hands around the ****, put your knees together, and use your calf muscles to lift your knees up along with your hands and the gearshift ****. But be careful not to give yourself a black eye or bloody lip when it pops!
Pfft, amateurs.
Put the shifter in second gear, grab **** with 2 fingers on either side of the shaft and pull back and up. Should pop right out and no need to straddle anything or get hit in the face by a suddenly released shift ****.

So how does a new **** go ON the shaft in the first place once you remove it? Is it simply Just press down on the new **** onto the lever ? Im contemplating getting a JCW alcantara shift boot and a new blue leather Mini **** to match my black/blue seats is why i ask...

If it's a stock MINI **** (JCW or one of the color-matched ones) just put it on and push real hard with the palm of your hand until it snaps into place. It's a friction fitting.

Ahh, Cool! Sounds easy enough... Thanks for the info !
I've found that the best way to remove the stock shift **** is to pull up to a red light along side some wise guy in a Honda. When the light turns green and you start accellerating agressively - you'll soon attempt a shift into second. After that you can pull over and retrieve your shift **** from the back seat...

I got a new Momo Competition **** for Christmas.
Thanks for sharing this simple method of stock **** removal! NAM is such great place! I followed these steps and you're right it just popped right off with little effort, kind of surprising but it works!
