Desperate Measures
Thought you all might be interested in seeing what happens when the Demon Key WILL NOT come out :mad It all worked out in the end though. New shifter looks and works great

Re: Desperate Measures (Jumper)
The idiot tech(before I bought it) pounded mine in with a hammer :mad . I had to drill the key out. I never thought to hack it off :D .
It would have been much faster with a sawzall :thumbs: .

Re: Desperate Measures (Jumper)
I took the pics. :)
That damn key wasn't coming out. Mine was tough, but two screw drivers prying at once finally got it. Jumper's wasn't moving, at all. His car had the shift fork changed right before he bought it and I guess they took out the shifter. The dealer broke off most of the sides on the key before we go there. The rest came off during the prying...so don't give him too hard of a time.
Either way... the B&M and Momo is a huge upgrade.

Re: Desperate Measures (HirPowerZ06)
I installed B&M Ripper and a Momo Superanitomico shift ****. The ironic thing is that we completely forgot to take a picture after it was all said and done. :steering:
