I think the shifter knob screws off... someone back me up here. About the boot... well I think that you have to take off the plastic moulding that hold the boot down.

Yep, the knob screws out. The boot is snapped around the knob at top and screw to the plastic thingy at the bottom. You'll have to remove the plastic part to access the screws.
