Sounds like you still have some screws somewhere. I took mine off while putting in the hud & don't remember any tricks.

Glad you got it out. Let us know what shifter you put in and if you like it. Considering one myself.

I put in the new B&M precision shifter. I absolutely LOVE it. It did take some getting used to. People said the Hurst was very notchy and the B&M wasnt as notchy...well...after driving with the B&M and its notchiness, I am happy I didnt get the Hurst because it would have been WAY too much. If you are looking for a drastic change I reccomend the B&M. If only a slight change and more of an "everyday" feel, I'd say get the c6z shifter.
