hi, i have a 91 rx7 n/a, manual, i wanna take off the shift ****, but i don't know how to....i don't wanna break anything, i've tried twisting it, but haven't tried hard because i don't know if it is a screw type...could anyone help me?

 

theres a jam nut butted against the bottom of the shifter ****. take a wrench of appropriate size and hold the jam nut in place while unscrewing the ****, it will come apart. Try not to simply twist the **** off, if it's pretty tight you can cause some damage to the bushing/ball/pin down under the boot trying to get it off carelessly.

 

might I also suggest a strap wrench, I seem to remember

loosening that nut on the bottom a bit to make it easier to

remove the ****? So when you put a new **** on you screw

it down and then tighten the nut against it to hold it in place.

 

???



**** i just twisted my **** **** off... ididn't notice any jam night.

=(

 

It might help if you pull of the skirt (woohoo!), so you can see that jam nut. At least that's how mine is. Screw the nut down, unscrew the **** up. Comes off easy that way.

 

he says he has an S5.. u dont have to unscrew anything just twist it off... the S4's have that screw...

 

n/m

 

That's wierd. I have an S4 and all I had to do was the ol' turn to the left.

 

S5 has no jam nut?

 

thanks a lot...there was no jam nut....it was just really on there
