so when i picked up my lights today, i got a new shift **** just for s and gs and i need to know how to get the old one off..lol. tried twisting hard to un-screw but that was a shot in the dark if it were to come off like that. anyone know the diameter either btw? not sure if i got the right size..hah. thanks

 

If you have an AW4 the shifter handle just pulls straight off. Not sure how the **** for a manual works. You didn't specify which you had.

 

oh yeah i got a manual, sorry. dunno how its supposed to come off

 

My old 91 was a manual and it screwed off.

 

some have a special locking nut under the *** but they unscrew, the nut is smooth with 2 notchs in it, well mine is anyhow

 

huh..i tried un-screwing but ended up just getting hand cramps..lol. ill try harder..try to find a vice grip too..hah

 

you have to turn the lock nut under the shift ****. you need to turn it clockwise, to spin it toward the floor to relieve the pressure, then twist the shift **** off counterclockwise.

 

while pushing down? not sure of the whole process here. so i tighten it then loosen?

 

i looked at my tj, and there is no lock nut. they just twist off.

i thought 5spd xj's had the lock nut tho. if it does, then you just back the locknut away from the shift **** then simply just twist the shift **** off.

don't pop the top piece out, there is nothing under it.

it's gonna be tight, but i'm sure it just screws off.

you can buy rock-***** and shifter extensions for tj's that are threaded.

 

Should be a little round peice of metal at the base of the ****. It will have two flat spots in it's sides, looks like a great place for a wrench to "grab" on to. Loosen this, and the **** should screw off. If the jam nut is tight, you can twist till the cows come home, and ALL you'll get is hand cramps and arm pump!! LOL!! HTH!!

 

does anyone know if an automatic cherokee shifter *** in the year of nineteen thousand and ninety nine comes off. My bro has a hand grenade shifter *** for his wrangler and i want somthin like that....maybe like a hurst shifter ****. That would be sick

 

Twist hard to break the glue loose.

 

Puul real hard up and it will.

 

is the tj an auto, where did he get the grenade ****? and x2 on what Finney said, just pull up bro.

 

No it was a manual, i think it was 4wd.com...i think. It was pretty sick though. He sold the tj for a pickup. I told him to take the **** off so i could fab it to fit on mine but he wouldnt let me take it off. It was sweet lookin though
