Strap wrench for the shift knob and a 2nd wrench down at the linkage to prevent it from twisting. Good Luck

Seems like in this forum everyone that knows something feels like their god and wanna make fun of the ones that wanna learn, instead of help them. I'm cool with it. . . I've learned to always ask questions when in doubt.

In the future if you can't find an answer by searching please give your thread(s) an actual descriptive title and put it in the appropriate section.

A little bit of forum etiquette goes a long way, best of luck.

Yes. Ill most certainly do that next time. So I've heard people be acting worse than a female pregnant of triplets for having threads in the wrong place.
Reason why I apologized in the first sentence. And to make you feel better now. Pls accept my apologizes. Once again.

Either way. It worked and people helped me out. Thank you. And one more time. My apologies for putting on the wrong section.

I'll be tackling that later today again. The first time I tried, the strap wrench wouldn't grip the shift knob tight enough and kept slipping off

theboydiddy · 03-09-2013, 11:55 AM

First time I tried nothing turned. Nothing moved lol.
Ill try doing it again tomorrow on my day off.

theboydiddy · 03-12-2013, 12:05 AM

so i finally got to swich the knob but got damn there was no towel that was gonna save that knob.
my original knob got messed up badly. even with towel wrapped and all.

forza370z · 03-12-2013, 12:19 AM

Geez. Lol. But at least you could switch the shift knob.

theboydiddy · 03-12-2013, 12:36 AM

Pretty much lol.
Now I just need to fix that leather piece to be together with the knob and not just hanging there.

What shift knob did you buy?

axmea? · 03-12-2013, 01:28 AM

I wrapped the oem knob in a decent amount of vinyl tape, then the strap wrench and held the "stalk" with vise grips. Took me 20 - 25 minutes of wrestling the darn thing off. If there was a way to induce a little bit of heat onto the stalk, it would have been easier.
At least you got it off. I second TerribleONE, what knob?

asdfsammich · 03-12-2013, 03:23 AM

What's all the commotion about? Distressed damsel?

Crazy title if it's just about a guy mangling his own knob. Should of used lotion.
