ok so im installing my B&M when i get to the disassemble step, how do i get the OE Pivot Holder off of the stock shifter? i have hade like 4 people look at it, not one of us can figure out how to get it off with out cutting it off! (i do not want to do this if i dont have to)
so can some one help me realy fast with a anccer. PLEASE:confused

 

never mind my dad just used some brute force (it not being his toy) and just poped it off. i just didnt want to break it.

 

have you taken the shift knob off? It seems like you have to take off the shift knob (pop off top and undo screw) then there are 2 tabs under the spring push them in and the shifter should come apart. Or it will just pull off the bottom. Either way I know I had to disasemble the whole thing to get the parts I needed.

 

um?... i wasnt paying atention when i took it apart, then my dad just riped it off the bottom side and stretched it a lil, then i filed off the reverse lock out off. cuz 5th gear was realy hard to get in, but fine now. and i dont have to worry about the reverse lock out.


but has any one pintched themselves between the *** and the reverse lock out lever? i have 4 fingers that have deep slices on them due to this. (2 during install and 2 during the test drive/beat the hell out of the car)

 

I don't usually put my fingers in between the knob and reverse lock out What part did you file down exactly?

 

You didn't have to file it down, all you had to do is adjust the driver side cable and it'll go in just fine.

 

How the hell do u shift? You don't put your hand on the knob? You hold it with 2 fingers under the knob? thats weird.. never seen anyone drive like that before

 

it was one of the oem pare that you have to keep, the part that you have to left up on the reverse lock out to to get over. i no longer have to lift it up to go to reverse, i did this because i hade to lift up on it to get into 5th gear as well

 

dont realy care was gonna do it any way, dont like the reverse lock out

 

i grab it with w/e i feel like, i would get my foot up their to shift it if i could stretch it
