How the hell do you take it off? Ive tried everything and It wont come off. any suggestions?

 

torch?

 

It is just tight. I got mine off after playing with it unconsciously at redlights and other times when I was sitting. It just finally broke free one day, although it felt like I was bending the shifter.

You can put some protective rags around the base and use something like vise grips, but be careful or you'll scratch it.

 

is it screwed on or can you just pull it off?

 

Just screwed on.

 

It's screwed on.. I suggest you wrap it well with rags and put a long (over 14") adjustablw wrench on the lower, flat area and give it a twist.. Having the long wrench give you all the leverage you need to get it off on the first try.. Remember, counter-clockwise removes it..

I'm telling you, bring it by the house and we will torch it off.

 

Strap wrench will do the trick.

 

To get the **** off you might have to 'lock' the upper half of the shifter with a pair of vice grips. The upper half is coated with black plastic. Once you have a grip on it then turn the **** - by the base with a wrench -

 

not worthwhile taking that SOB off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mine was loctited on super tight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just my $.02

but i do love my titanium nismo ****.

 

Hey John- I meant to ask you- how the hell do you keep from burning your hand on those really hot days? I know the top of my stock shift **** gets extremely hot - enough to burn if you touch it for even a few seconds.
