Sorry, I don't have pics, but I know how the knob attaches.
The knob has a "twist lock" at the bottom. You have to pull the boot all the way up to see it. All you do is turn that lock 1/4 turn counterclockwise and you can pull the knob off the shift lever shaft.
If I recall correctly, there's a small groove in the top of the shift lever shaft, and when you turn the twist lock, it squeezes a plastic bump inside of the knob into the groove on the shaft.
