Oh yeah! Great point Zman! I did twist it slightly (though I could tell as soon as it did and I stopped before continuing using a second wrench). I actually had problems for about a week with the shift knob slipping out of 2nd gear before I let off the clutch

I managed to twist it back a bit and haven't had any problems since

I bought an extra OEM shift knob before I did the mod

Everything turned out fine and I sent the extra knob on to someone else

Correct. You just use one hand to hold the shifter stem (make sure it doesnt twist) and with the other turn the knob loose with the strap wrench.

I actually used my knee to push back against the second wrench. I was then able to get both hands on the strap wrench and use a good amount of steady pressure to loosen the knob gradually.

you see, that is where you are mistaken, on all accounts... respect =/= reputation as it is intended.. and that's ok, enjoy your reps. it's no sweat off my back.. I don't live and die on the internets
