yes this is going to be a very dumb question but i didnt want to break anything so i didnt get too crazy with it. Yesterday i was taking apart my center console... i went to pull the shift knob off... it wouldnt budge. Finally after a few curses and a budweiser i got the thing to turn a little bit... but it wont come off... how in the hell do you get the stock shift knob to come off???

 

thats where you went wrong....

turn it counter clockwise. lefty-loosey, righty tighty wink.gif :roll:

 

turn it the opposite direction in which a clock would move if looking directly down on it. wink.gif

you are reffering to a manual tranny right?

 

yea man... i dont know why it wont come off... its pissin me off... o well ill figure out something

 

LMAO, I certainly hope so.

Doode, if it's just spinning in place, you broke something.

Get a hacksaw and have at it now man, just get a new one to replace it.

 

I hated the stock shifter.. that was the first thing on my car to get replaced...

 

yea.... it kind of spins in place... that sux i really dont want to just hacksaw it off... ill try somethin when i go back home next weekend... im still debating on this B&M shortshifter

 

Heres what to do,
1 order B&M SS cauz i got it and its great great GREAT
2 when u receive B&M, u install, plus the B&M knob although its plain and small, i kept it i like it a lot
3 if you want stock, saw off shifter just under knob
4 drill inside the knob where the rest of shifter is to get it out
5 everyone is happy, you got your B&M and your stock knob intact, now debat wich of the 2 you wanna keep smile.gif

 

hey... how is the b&m shifter... is it actually very short height wise... i am definitely going for a new shifter but im not sure which one to get... someone help me!!! haha

 

well i have a B&M shifter and id say its awesome, really shorter throws you really feel it... as for height, you prolly already know that short-shifter doenst have anything to do with height but throws.
It really enhances driving experience and throws and shifting is a lot more firm, doesnt freakin wobble like cheap-ass stock.
You can also cut the B&M shifter to make it shorter (it is just slightly shorter in height than stock shifter), and make new dreads inside to screw knobs
Or I heard a lot of good stuff about the R-Side that its pretty much like B&M, but you can adjust the height on it as well without cutting.
R-Side seems like a good buy too, but I prefer the GOOD reputation of B&M... but thats just my opinion...
hopes this helps
