removing A6 ****
Someone please tell me how I get this thing out of the car so I can put on the new one. It is driving me crazy and I hhave been pulling, tugging, and twisting for the past hour.
Any help would be appreciated
Also just got the Pioneer Z1 installed and it so far is awesome. I am very impressed.

Yeah, I have head one if in a stick and know exactly what you are talking about. I can't find a screw like that in the auto handle, I called the local chevy dealer he said pull and twist. Which does not seem to work.

Got the **** from Down South Vettes it is very nice looking. I even got the local dealer to fax me the page on removing the **** and it says it just pulls off but it may take some force. Man they are no kidding I have been pulling on this thing like a crazy man and have not budged it.

The black plastic piece sticking out the bottom of the replacement hints that there is no simple pulling it up to take it off. Looks like a clip and also some pushing and turning to release or install.
Would hate to break the plastic off the bottom and then have a shifter that won't shift!

Wait, wait, wait.....It comes of very easily.First you twist the black plastic collar on the base of the **** about a qtr turn then pull it down about a half inch then the **** pulls right off from the top. Twist, push down pull off. This is for the A6 only, the A4 in the 05 comes off like any GM F or Y body and many other for the last 20 years. These ***** ar not interchangable either. See if you can get it off now if not I might be able to get you some actual pics of the twist mech so you can see how it works.
