Shift knobb

Has anyone installed the alternate Shift knobb? Special tool required? Any help would be appreciated!

Pull down the chrome ring... smallish screwdriver or butterkife type blade (strong fingernails) to pop the retention clip towards the front... Lift off.
Most Nissans are all the same... I have removed my 7th and 8th gen... both the same. I don't remove the clip, I only push it forward about a 1/4 inch.
Found this video... There are tons of them.

It is way easier to do when you put the car in neutral!
forgot about that tip!

Looks good, I have not found one that I can afford! They are a little pricey (especially with all of the other things I want to do to the car!)
