Shifter removal

[RaDiKaL]

Is their any way to remove the shift knob if it was glued on. I removed the staple and it wouldn't come off yet alone wiggle, so i am assuming it is glued on. I have a 95, Auto.

hmm as far as I know they were never glued on yours may be jammed or something give it a little chinmusic it may just have been on there so long it got a little to comfortable

i tried twisting it as hard as i could and i tried pulling up on it as hard as i could and nothing...

I have a 92 how do you remove the shifter (also an auto)
I'm trying to get ready to paint.

1. pull up the ebrake.
2. turn the car to accessory.
3. put the car in low gear (shifter all the way back)
4. theres a little C-clip right under the shift button on the front of the shifter, i use a flathead screwdriver to pull it out.
5. pull up and twist side to side to free the shifter.



I dont know if your car has the button on the side of the shifter... IIRC it does NOT being a 92, but if so, theres 2 wires for the button (if you have ETS).

no ETS but I do have the button and thanks I'm going out to try it right now.

Worked, thanks again

I think you have to press in the button too.
