removing shifter ****
This may sound like a dumb question, but how do you get the shift **** off? I have the stock 6 speed shifter and ****. Is there some sort of lock preventing it from just twisting off, or is it just really stiff?Thanks

Take the cover on the top of the shifter off with a small screw driver. You will see a t-pin and grab it with a pair of vice-grips and use a hammer to bang in the up direction on the vice-grips and remove the t-pin. Unscrew the ****.. Your done!

It comes out fairly easy when you tap it with the hammer.

Yup. Pull of the cover onthe top of the shift ****. You will see what they call the "demon key"..mine was difficult to get out, hince..demon key, lol. i used vice grips and a hammer. good idea to throw a rag on top so that the key doesnt fly all over your car and hit things.
