Shift Knob r&r

[eiching1]

Can anyone tell me how to remove the, extension?, on the gear lever? It seems to be there to hold up the boot. I have a Momo shift knob that I would like to install but can't get the knob low enough to use the set screws w/the screw on cover. The "extention" looks like it just screws on top of a shorter shift lever and has a holthrough the side, but does not seem to screw off. Help. I hope this is clear to someone Thanks to all!

easy - well sorta. what i did was take the shifter out of the car, get my good ol dremel (any excuse to use the dremel) and cut vertical slits along the extension...then it was a case of prying the extension off and getting all the anoying urethane off and threading the original shifter.

probably the easiest $0 mod

hope this helps

later

If you heat up the top of the shifter hot enough is just kind of wiggles off. Need to get it hot enough to melt that rubber inside there.

Thanks again guys. Sounds easy but tedious jobs for a free Saturday. Best without the wife and kids around. Any other options as far as different knobs go?

Just get the Kartboy Super Combo! Short throw shifter, bushings, and shift knob. You won't be dissapointed.
