Shift **** Replacement
Hullo,
Ive got a '99 Max SE, 5 speed and wanted to replace the rather cheesy stock shift ****. I purchased one, but i cant figure out how to get the damn stock one off. Ive tried unscrewing it, but its on pretty good and i dont want to twist the tranny off.
any help is appreciated!
Thanks,

IT is hard dude, I posted this a while back and some people found it easier to heat it up with a hair drier or something called a heat gun.
It's always hot in Tx so I wrapped the **** with a small towel and used like a plumbing wrench and twisted HARD. The reason it's tough is because they put some type of glue around the thread so it doesn't move when you're shifting, like the others have stated.
