To those that have a 94 accord

The stock knob has a clip on it that releases the shift boot. Squeeze the clip, pull the boot straight down. Now just unscrew the knob.

The first time I tried, I destroyed the clip on the knob trying to get the boot off

I have a stock knob on my car still and there isn't a clip on it. All you have to do is grab the boot right under the knob and pull down, you may have to pull kinda hard but it'll come down. Once you pull it down, the knob will unscrew like you said.
