Hi all. I have a simple question. I am trying to remove the stock shift **** on my 1990 GTU and replace it with a momo ****. however, I tried twisting and turning that bad boy but the muthaf*@#r would not budge. wtf? I feel kinda retarded posting this how to, but, can somebody please let me in on the proper removal method. Thanks

 

The proper removal method is to screw the **** off.
Remember: Lefty Loosey, RIghty Tighty

 

What? What is the know?

 

I have the same problem i cant get the damn thing off either.

 

okay I will probably be flamed for even replying to this but...see the little chrome deal the boot ties around, you know, right under the ****....turn it to the right with a wrench using the flat sides provided for this purpose...yes to the right, this thing is seperate from the **** and will actually remove tension holding your shift know so tight...let us know

 

Took me forever to figure that out... :P

 

Check that you haven't broken the plastic insert in the pivot ball that keeps the lever from turning.

 

If you put a wrench on that piece you can turn it a tiny bit to the right and then hold that right while turning the **** left, gives you a way to lower some pressure on the little **** that keeps it from turning.

 

use a vicegrip and rip that shiz off!

 

there is a "lock" nut on the bottom of the shifter ****. Turn it to the right while holding the ****. That should unlock them.
