manual shifter ****?
Alright guys I made a purchase today at bass pro and got a new shifter **** for the truck after getting home and trying to pull the factory **** off things were not going well so i did a little research ......they are pressed on with splines explains why it wasn't coming off haha...my question is how can i remove the factory **** with out damaging it just in case I want to put it back on? Also what is the diameter of the shaft under the **** so i can verify the new **** will fit .......thanks guys help me out here .....Josh Byerly

I modified mine as well, to fit a blue dice on it..(pic in album). If i remember right, you pull hard enough, you'll remove the stock shifter bar itself, from the rubber insert, thats at the base of the shifter. All it is (shift lever) is forced down on a rubber tube, to alleviate the vibration/noise, from the trans.

I dont bud. I chucked it when i destroyed it, try'n to have clearance for my under-dash gauge pod. Thats how i ended up fabbing a new shifter lever. I'd say, take measure from right under the ****, and you'd probably real close to the size under the ****. Dont forget to post up the pic of the gunner, think that wud look sweet. I sinced dumped the dice and now have an American League baseball in its place..LOL

The splines on my blue 01 were just a hair over 1/2 inch. I now have a #2 pool ball on my hand shaker. My black ranger has #8 ball on it.

If it's super glued on there, pull the shift lever before you try and yank it off. It will be much easier to work with after you remove it anyway. Unscrew the 4 screws in the corners of the rubber boot at the floor and lift it up and you'll see how to remove the lever.
Don't tear or damage that rubber boot. It's made of some sort of magical stuff. You wouldn't believe how much noise it keeps out.
