    Super easy. Just spin it counterclockwise(or anti-clockwise for our European friends - lol). The shaft is threaded and the knob has a threaded female insert.

    That I don't know offhand. I didn't check the size because I was just taking it off and putting it back on when I pulled out my center console.

    Basically, that would mean that any Toyota manual shift knob will work.

    The question, however, is how long is the shaft, including the threaded and unthreaded length combined? That would also mean the total depth of the cavity into the bottom of the shift knob.
