I was doing the shift **** mod by ptatohed and i accidently dropped one of the screws from the new **** assembly into the pole that holds the skinny bar and now its preventing me from shifting.

I was wondering what the best thing to do would be in the situation?

Also, is it alot of work to remove the rod to get to the screw and does anyone have instruction on how to do it?

I would really appreciate some help on the matter.
From anyone.

Thanks,

 

Why not try to remove the screw, your prolly going to have to remove the whole shifter assembly to get to it...

Good luck...

 

say that 5 times fast

shift **** mod shift **** mod shift **** mod shift **** mod shift **** mod

 

i figured that, but i couldn't find instruction on how to do that.

is it alot of work to do that, do i have to go under the car to remove it?

 

is it visible? Go get a antenna magnet and get it out?

 

it is not visible and is stuck very tightly.

 

thats not cool, and u dont got much room to play with there, i would get a long screw driver and try knock it loose up and get a one of those skinny attenna magnets, and than start poking and praying.

 

does anyone know how to remove the shift rod from my car?

 

so i went to a mechanic and he quoted me 400$ to replace the shift assembly.
He said he couldn't get the screw out.

Any thoughts?

 

Fish it out, if it got in there it will definitely come out unless u keep grinding it in by shifting. Do wat MaxFanatik said.

 

try the magnet. it usually works

 

I don't see how it could of gotten stuck. start removing bolts/nuts until it's removed. then fish out the bolt

 

get a high strength magnet and stick it to the shift linkage by the tranny and work it up to the shifter until the screw falls out?

 

try turning the car upside down(j/k)....try using the magnet man, we all said it,can u even see it at all, if so thats good, if not, put something down there and start playing with it.

 

the magnet doesnt work

 

hmmmm.can u see the screw at all.?(startin to sound serious)

 

yeah, but its all the way at the bottom

 

Magnetize two pieces of clothes hanger wire and start fishing.

 

Try and knock it loose first, or the magnet wont be strong enough to pull it up.

 

enough with the magnets, i mean thanks but i tried the magnet a million ways,

 

well a shifter assembly is cheaper then 400 bucks so start prying the **** out of it the worst u can do is buy another but i doubt ur gonna **** it up

 

ok so i fixed it by cutting out the piece of the rod i thought the screw was at and thankfully i was right about the position of it,
