Nope :tup:

I bought an extra OEM shift knob before I did the mod :bowrofl: Everything turned out fine and I sent the extra knob on to someone else :tup:

ok...

Correct. You just use one hand to hold the shifter stem (make sure it doesnt twist) and with the other turn the knob loose with the strap wrench.

I actually used my knee to push back against the second wrench. I was then able to get both hands on the strap wrench and use a good amount of steady pressure to loosen the knob gradually.

you see, that is where you are mistaken, on all accounts... respect =/= reputation as it is intended.. and that's ok, enjoy your reps. it's no sweat off my back.. I don't live and die on the internets :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl: :tup:

Im trying to picture this in my head... but im coming up with absolutely nothing.:roflpuke2:

I had my left shin on the passenger seat with my knee resting on the center console by the shifter. My right knee was on the passenger floorboard. It was not the most comfortable position, but it wasn't bad. I just needed two hands for the first couple of torques of the strap wrench.

ahhhhh ok. dude, you and zman are fricken awesome!

:tiphat:

I got the shift knob in the morning while I was at work. I picked up a strap wrench on my way home for lunch and it took about 20 min. Removal took about 5 min. The rest was screwing on the new knob and unscrewing several times to get the pattern facing the correct way :tup:

dude... if my buddies want to express their respect to me with reps, there's nothing I can do to stop it but to accept.... :tup:

I know I know... you won't understand it cos you never receive any~~~

:icon18::bowrofl::icon18::bowrofl:

fvck man, you make it sound like it was easy...sh1t..:roflpuke2:

Dude, why bother with certain people bro, just put them on your ignore list, seriously bro. I dont got time for BS.

when i make diys i never ask for reps. reason being, im here to provide my experience and expertise (if you want to call it that) for the help i got while i was a newb long time ago.

im just giving back to the internet community. :)

this is another reason why i never pay to sponsor a car forum. i hope the info and the existance of this character 'kenchan' keeps the forum entertained and informed.

lol..... dude... it is easy n straight forward... only the locktite on the OEM one make things pain in the butt... :ugh2:

mr.jar- how did you hold the shifter itself? did you have another pair of hands (wifey)? :tup:

I was prepared to use my sawall to get the damn thing out if I had to :icon17: Luckily, the proper tools and a little bit of elbow grease can go a long way. It wound up being a lot easier that I was expecting after reading all the horror stories on the forum.

mr.alcheng- my Z's knob was a royal pita to remove. broke two strap wrenches and i just said f- it and took my oil filter wrench and got the damn thing off. :D

i just didnt want to damage the shift linkage below, so I was definitely careful about that side of things.

I am ok with Isamu... he is a fun dude, just wanna mess around with him on this one but nothing serious, he knows about it too....

I think~~~

:bowrofl:


And I wouldn't mind sponsor a buddy like you... :tup:

I used my knee to prevent the second wrench from turning, which in turn kept the shifter itself from twisting. I actually twisted it a hair before I pulled out the second wrench :shakes head: but I got it fixed and back to normal :tup:

I don't think Mu gets butthurt :wtf2: :roflpuke2:

Kenchan is definitely worth sponsoring :tup:

Did you use a little bit of locktite on the new knob?

Welp, I had to do what I had to do..

I wouldnt recommend that, i would think.

Nope :facepalm: which is why the pattern regularly rotates now and irritates me :ugh2: I should do that now that you mention it :icon17:

thanks, mr.alcheng. (literally sponsored). :tup:


mr. jar- dang that is some serious acrobatics you did to remove that knob. :tup:

thanks! :p

mr.zman- on my TWM knob, i did use a tad of loctite just enough for it from coming loose and let it dry over night. just a little dab of blue is all it takes. :)

just a little is fine... gobs = :shakes head:

Roger that, sir.. thank you. I appreciate the input guys, you guys rule.. for real man! thank you.
