I have a piece from my dash kit that goes on the base of my 03' auto. cant get it on without removing the ***. i dont want to force it. usually they just screw off. if you know how to get the thing off, let me know. thanks in advance.

 

Bueler? Bueler? Can any body help me?

 

it twists off. It just takes a lot of force to get it off at first....i almost thought it was glued on.

 

If you take your shifter **** off, I would plan to have a new one to put on. Seriously.

The **** does screw on but it is also taped/glued on the inside. I had to cut the cover off and the rubber of the **** off to get to the spot where it screws on.

I tried pliers, strap wrenches etc to squeeze the **** enough to get it off all to no avail.

Just cut it off and replace.

 

See you have a 5spd, its a bit different. For the auto's you just need to twist as hard as humanly possible and it will come off. I reused my stock ****. I just replaced it for a week, and didn't like how the new one felt. It went on smooth, I don't remember seeing glue.

 

seriously? mine comes off at will. in my 95 i ended up wrapping the **** in a dish towel and then used a pair of pliers. it took me all of 5 minutes.

 

you dont need to take out your shift **** , are you trying to put on the dash piece on the shifter all you need to do is bend it and put it on
