Hey Mark,

We just sent you a PM to try and solve this issue.

Here is what we sent you just incase anyone else runs into an issue.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the stock shift knob there is a small aluminum spacer around the actual shifter. This should be removed prior to installing the Password:JDM shift knob.

Still waiting on my knob. Its been out for delivery since 9:30 am. Wow its amazing how you can track a package these days, I love it. While Ive been waiting for the delivery I ran to work and grabbed a strap wrench to make short work of the stock shift knob

Wha?

I don't recall seeing an aluminum spacer...??

Alchemy- btw, when you do remove the stock knob, make sure to hold the shaft with vicegrips. the torque you put on the knob can potentially damage the linkage below. and dont forget to put a towel or something under the vice grips not to scratch the center console.

What about the boot though?? You vice gripped the shaft w the boot still on??

just pull up the boot/shifter ring assembly. you dont need tools for pulling this up, just grab the aft portion of the boot and ring (just dig fingers into the boot and grab under the ring) and pull up.

kenchan · 12-16-2011, 02:35 PM

btw, that shifter ring has metal clips which will scratch the center console so make sure you put towels under there as well. or do like me, painter's tape the area of the console (couple of layers to make it thick).
