ehh... it takes some force (and perhaps a little plastic mutilation) but it'll come offOriginally posted by gotTC?@Nov 10 2005, 04:20 PM
the little washer thing on my car was on tight enough that i couldn't even fit a screwdriver in there.
They started putting the clips on them right before the TSB for loose shifters came out. The clips ensure the ring won't lift and cause the loose shifter condition.They seem to appear almost at random. My cage has them, but I've seen cages with later manufacture date stamps and no clips. I have 4 cages on hand, 2 with clips and 2 without.[/b]
Another +1 for Dr Isotope's short shifter!Just to add to what some have said. There is absolutely NO reason to get out a cutting tool for this. 30 seconds with a screwdriver and a few light hammer taps and the washer is off. It may break when you pry it off, but you either have the one that comes with the kit or you can buy one from ACE/True Value.
I just installed the Dr Iso short shifter (great guy to deal with and great shifter setup by the way) and the install is really cake. About an hour, but I was letting my 10 year old take a lot of the console apart for me![]()
Washer = easy, no big force needed if you just look at it and do it right
Cap = takes a little wiggling, but with two prying tools you can pop it right off fairly quickly.
The rest = simple
I would put it at a 4-5 (out of 10) for a less experienced person, a 1-2 for those who have wrenched a good amount.[/b]
