What he said.


And to take off the shifter there is a pin that is u shaped on the front of it. The side which faces the radio. I just took a flat head screw driver and popped it out. Then just pull up on the **** and it will come off.

I support being different, but as long as it is a good kind of different. Different does not always equal good, and this is a prime example of such a time.
