As far as the shift assembly, you lifted the console up and used vice grips right? So I'm assuming you pulled the boot down to expose the shifter surface, but did you use anything between the vise grips and the shifter itself? I tried a rag, but am experiencing slippage there too
Right, there was some sort of black ring down there or something that we used the vise grips on. I figured since its covered by the shift boot I didn't car about marring it up.. Just to be clear too I used Locking Vice grips, not just channel locks.

Also put a layer of masking tape first on the shift knob before the duct tape, help get the adhesive from the duct tape from stickying (is that a word) up the stock knob.
