i don't see any locking nut under it, it looks like it's just the **** on the stick
if there is a locking nut how can i take that off? i have some tools but it's just like a small kit in my car, but i have the basic ones. i've just been using my hands because i don't see anything to use tools on

I have the factory Hurst shifter, and I just changed my stick and **** the other day. First remove both pieces from the car. Around the shift boot, push the fragile plastic frame towards the shift stick and slowly move the plastic retaining clips up and over, until you can get the boot completely off. I got the impression that these are extremely easy to break, so careful. Hold the shift boot up up, and then start to remove the stick with a box wrench (there are two bolts holding it on there).
Once you have the entire piece off, you can experiment more with the table mounted vise grips (if you have them), but I would be damn sure that the teeth on the tools don't tear up the leather on the factory shift ****. Mine actually came right off with both hands. Maybe you can try spraying a tiny bit of PB blaster into the start of the threading.
