I have a 2001 SE Manual and the markings on the stick are disappearing. There is only 28000 mi. on it. Anybody else come across this problem?

Thanks, MCE

 

yeah mine are pretty much gone on my 2K...

 

2000 Sunlit Sand SE 5-Speed with 67,540 miles. My numbers/letter are completely worn off and the **** is looking terrible. I've read numerous posts-some say it screws off with a pipe wrench/vice grips and others say you have to cut it off?

Anyone with the correct/true answer?

 

I bought my 2000 used at 40k miles and the shift **** was perfectly smooth. So I want to fix that with a new ****.
