Plan and simple I can't get my shift **** off and I was wondering if there was a secret behind it or something. If it just screws on like every other factory one someone loc-tight that on there damn well. It won't budge at all. If I can't get off I might just buy a short shifter. 86 turbo I should be able to use one from an early 240sx right?

 

Just twist REAAAAALY hard, and if your heart is pure it will come off.

 

check for a set screw.

 

It just screws off. There is no set screw.

And no. Read:

maybe its like the excaliber of shift *****. first one to get it off is the Z god w00t w00t!!!!!

twist it. lol. plain and simple. twist it. make sure you twist counterclockwise (looking at it from the top)

 

a pair of vise grips, a pipe wrench and some rags to make sure it doesn't screw it up! I got it off thanks guys. I'm still going to buy a diffrent shifter for it though. 50 bucks isn't bad at all
