Shift Knob replacement?????'s

[Bloke]

OK, i know i'm new to this site, & i did a search but there is no explaination on how to remove the stock shift knob. does it simply unscrew off? wasn't sure & didn't want to destroy anyting.
Also, if it is just a simply screw on & off type situation what holds the shift boot on & can i replace the knob with any other kinds? i.e. i used to own a 2000 Civic SI & swapped my sotck knob out for a DC sports & type R one, they were threaded to the same thread so the new ones simply screwed right on. is the thread on the mazda's shifter a standard size?
if anyone has replaced thir shift know i'd love to see/know what they went with.
many thanks, guys!
Cheers
James

Just twist off. Counter clockwise.

I dont have a new knob. I would like one that is threded but I dont know where or what to get it.

this is what a voodoo knob looks like:

they are originally made for the miata, but the threads are the same as the protege.

I have the Momo Tomahawk knob, I just wish it was a threaded knob instead on using the set screws.

YES, the shifter knob just screws on and off.....the threads are 10mm, just don't remember the exact thread pitch at the moment.
