The little black o rings on the ams shifter were also a pita to keep on and the black rubber piece that fits on top of the white shifter cup would not stay on in any way shape or form so i removed it totally, hope it isnt that important. If it is well T.F.B. check out the pic below to see how much fun I had. I also have to go buy a new shift knob now too. Gotta love cars!!!
