907's got it here... They weren't glued on from the factory, just slightly undercut threads to ensure a high friction bond. I've seen quite a few glued on in various parts cars over the years.

Melt away?
You're going to try and melt it off? I would saw it before I would try something like that. Cut down off center from top to bottom enough to be able to crack it with a chisel, the same way you would chisel cut a stripped nut on a rusted bolt. Use a power rotary saw to weaken it enough to break it away. This will leave it clean and ready for a new knob. Wire wheel off whatever glue they used. Even if you saw into the shifter no scarring would show once you put on the new knob. Treat it like an Apple. Just cut it apart....SIMPLE.

Dissection
Dissection more than smashing, but I get your point.

To clarify I wasn't suggesting anyone melt the damn thing off, I suggested the heat gun to either loosen up the rubber/plastic so it was more pliable/less bite on the shifter, or to loosen any epoxy that may be on it.

(CRE drops torch, pulls goggles off, hangs head and shuffles off mumbling disappointedly.)
