Shift **** wont budge! 88' na
I have the 88' vert na, and I'm trying to replace the shift ****. I know that there is a lock thing on it with the two flat spots on each side right under the original ****, but how am I supposed to take that off or unloosen it? I've been using some vise grips and turning the crap out of it but it just wont budge..Do I need to hold the **** and turn that lock thing the opposite way?
NOTE: I have bad shifter bushings, I feel like I'm going to break something because the whole thing twists with it.

If that part is at the bottom of the threaded portion,where is it gonna go??Can't go down,there are no threads/Can't go up the **** is in the road.
You need to grasp the shifter on the "collared part" with a wrench and turn the ****.

I'm having the same problem with my 85. I want to replace the boot, but the **** seems to be on super tight and I don't want to force it. I don't see any "flat Spots" on this OEM **** to put a wrench on.
