replacing the shift ****
how do i get the shift **** off ? i can see the seam but as hard as i've twisted it, it doesn't budge.
also, what size are the threads? i'm contemplating having a custom replacement made...

There's a locking nut under the **** guys, sheesh.
The locking nut has far fewer threads on it than those in the shift **** in contact with the shifter pole. So when the two are tightned into each other, there is a lot more friction in the ****'s threads than the jam nut's. Trying to unscrew the **** while they're still tight is a great way to damage your bushings.
Ditto, though I've jumped the gun with a couple questions myself...

Nice info - I didn't know that, mine was always able to be unscrewed by hand fairly easily since I got the car. It didn't loosen itself or anything, you had to WANT it off of there, but it wasn't like stripping threads tight, either.

see i knew this thread would get tons of responses and was entirely worthwhile posting
here's my idea for the custom replacement... im gonna have a crazy marble blown for me at the local glass blowing shop up here in burlington where i go to college, hopefully they can incorporate "rx7" into it. then i'll have them etch the gear pattern into it. great idea, huh?
