Ok, this is a very embarassing question, but how the heck do I take of my factory shifter ****? I'm wanting to change it and need to know how to take it off first...LOL. Please, no laughter...LOL!

 

Slide the shift boot down, it will pop off easily.
(There is a ring holding it up).
After that, unscrew the ****.
(lefty loosey, righty tighty )

 

Thethread size is M12 X 1.25 for new shift ****.

 

Thanks guys! I was so afraid to push down on the boot. It should go back up easy and into place right?

 

Got any pics of your new shifter? Which one did you choose?

 

Yeah I just put one on, i love the look and feel, but the boot....the boot...the boot.... there is no lip on the new ****, so the boot just kinda sits on it... uggh.... I may have to buy yet another one

 

I haven't bought one yet. I think I'm going to go with a chrome ball, trying to be more retro.

I couldn't find my older thread on this subject.
Anyhow, I went a similar route.
I recommend you contact Bruce Roosa at: http://www.koolknobs.com/
I helped him design the boot adapter, which should work for you.
Hope this helps.

 

Be careful with a metallic ****.....from what I have heard from others on these forums, they can get HOT HOT HOT during the summer months!

Good Luck

 

I have the metal shift **** and hate it. I'm looking for a leather one, but they don't exist! Ford Racing has one, but not w our thread. Same with Razo. Ideas?
