i know this maybe the stupidest question to ask, but how do you remove the shift ****? im turning it but it doesnt feel like its going anywhere (maybe its stripped ) any and all help would be appreciated

 

if you stripped it pulling it off then youre superhuman. check for a set screw. is this a stock ****?

 

yea its a stock. i removed it before, but after i brought it in to get the clutch swapped, it wont come off

 

Yeah, if it's stock, you should be able to just crank it counterclockwise until it's loose. Maybe it's just on there really good.

 

just gave it another shot. i must have given it 100 revolutions counter clockwise and it still feels like it never moved

 

The **** probably came loose from the threaded portion. Last time I saw this I think I ended up having to trash the stock ****. Then I was able to twist the the threaded part off.

 

twisting that shift **** gives me more of a work out than masturbating. i guess ill have to wait for christmas for a new ****

 

I feel your pain. Lucky for me I was taking mine off to put a new **** on.

 

so how do i go about removing the shift **** then. if i try to pull it off couldnt i damage the tranny/shifter?

 

Try to peal the leather back from the bottom. You might be able to get it off far enough to grab the threaded part of the **** with some pliers. At least I think that's how I did it, but it has been a while...

 

Mine was super hard to remove just put some ***** into it.

 

i finally got it out. thanks for the help guys

 

What ended up being the problem?

 

I'd like to know too -- I've been trying to get mine off to replace it with a custom glass one and haven't had any luck.

 

i would say the leather wrapped part was loose and that was probably what was spinning. i had the same prob, i just gave it a good GI Joe Kung Fu Grip and took the shifter ball off

 

How did you get it off? I don't know if my shifter stick is jacked up, but I can spin just the rod and the shift **** just spins with it. I also can't get the shift **** off either, it just spins around and around independent of the shift rod.
