so im trying to install my TWM shiftknob. I popped the cap off and removed the screw. and the ****** wont come off....any tips and tricks to get it off?

 

anyone?

 

You have to take 2 flathead screwdrivers and wedge them up underneath the stock shift knob. There is a ledge under there, you should be able to feel it, and then you pry up with one screwdriver on each side. It sucks the first time you do it. I nearly ruined my stock shift knob because the leather on that bottom ledge of the stock knob takes a beating. It took me probably 30 minutes to figure out how to get the damn thing off when I changed mine.

 

gonna do this in a bit while im doing my laundry...

 

Gotta get that GTL in huh?

Did you spray bomb the cobalt pink yet? It is Oktober now

 

cant get the paint here :/ next year it will have pink rims for Oktober

 

Lamesauce

 

it's a b*tch of a job.. have fun. silver paint is wearing off the top of my shiftknob. wish i could replace just the cap easily :/

same deal as steering wheel. paint chipped off center cap. have to get a whole steering wheel assembly. can't buy the cap by itself.

 

when my shift cable broke dealer replaced my whole assembly new shiter n everything

 

but rly i wound up using vice grips with a layer of rubber and twisted it off basically. pain in the ********

 

cant see pic....thanks Germany!

 

dang bro u missed out then

 

i can see it now..... thats a good one!

 

ive pulled it out so many times

ur gonna love your twm dude. such a great difference!

 

its only the shift knob.... Black Pearl Piston

will probably get the STS kit this winter!

 

you might as well wait to install the knob


the stock shift "rod" isnt threaded IIRC, so you TWM wont fit onto it without the STS kit with it.. not to mention I'm not sure how your reverse lockout will line up..

 

^ this. Your gonna want the sts kit right about now lol

 

yeah....

 

i have a feeling i just bursted his bubble

 

Lol

 

No I have the BMW threaded mabob. Lol. I wanna put it on and see how it feels before I get the STS sometime this winter
