Because it's just that easy that anyone with a screwdriver and hammer can do it...

Dammit, I knew I forgot something, however, I thought that you only needed pliers if you were adding TWO vq35's to a fourth gen. You know, one for the front, one for the rear...

Did you get it out of park?

I had this happen to me when I had a coin as well as an RCA cable in the way of the shifting mechanism, not cool if you want to
