How do you remove the shift ****?
I got a 88 RX7 and the OEM shift **** is pretty worn out and was thinking to replace it. However, I cant seem to take off the **** so does anyone know how to remove the shift ****? I tried very hard turning it counter clockwise but no luck.......
Any input is appreciated

you might not be ready to work on your own car if you cannot tackle this simple job. the secret is there is a jam nut that provides tension against the shifter so that it doesn't move around. pull the shifter boot down a little and use a wrench to loosen the jam nut. then the shift **** should just unscrew real easy like.

Is the jam nut sitting right below the shifter ****? what does it look like?
I apologize for all the noob questions......
Thanks again
