how do you take the stock shifter off, and replace it..if this thread has already been covered, can you please post the link and/or a write up? the search feature is not working right now...


thanks

 

all you do is unscrew it, it will be hard to get going but it is that simple.

 

Grab the shift ****, and begin twisting in a counter-clockwise direction (unscrewing it) keep doing that till its off, then you put a new one on, how you do that depends on what you got.

 

If you don't care if you ruin it then use visegrips. If you do car then use your hands. If it won't come off the use a heatgun or hairdryer or since you live in florida park it in the sun and maybe it'll get hot enough in there even this time of year. It's held on there by glue. It came right off on my '95, but some people have a hard time with it.

 

use a strap wrench, wont mess it up and you wont hurt your hands best of both worlds.

 

haha strap wrench is my most used tool. gotta love the infomercials that are actually worth something.

 

if you dont have a strap wrnch, grab a peice of cloth and place it over the ****, then use a vice grip, thats what i did, came out without a scratch.

 

Ummm... Twist?

 

Remove the entire shifter and replace it with a short throw.

 

Good call on that one.

 

just use a sawz-all and cut it off....and get a new ****

 

grenade will do it too.
