NOOOOOOOB - GXE shift **** fuxor!

My bud has a 98gxe - he's trying to get the shift **** off....he tried twisting it counter clockwise...but he says it wont budge.

You have to dismantle the housing where the gear stick goes into the car and unscrew bolts and what not, accordingly.

That's the right way to do it, **** I asked my pops to take it off for me cuz I was far from getting it off. That mozzafazza got some got some power, I was shocked.

I Just used a large vice grip and made it real tight and then rotated it counter clock wise and it came off. There is a glue that holds it on and it threaded too so you have to bread the glue to get it off.
