I cant get my shift **** off my 1989 Ranger. Ive got a different **** I want to put on, but cant get my stock one off.

J&A,j.

 

pull harder nancy

 

Do they screw on?

 

mine just fell off one day as i was trying to shift, i was in a hurry , my hand slammed into the dash, gear **** went flying, i almost got into an crash, i can laugh now but it freaked me out when it happened... try a heat gun on a hot day,,,,

 

i believe they pushed on at the factory. my **** also came off during a power shift. if you don't care if it gets damaged, get some big vise-grips on it. maybe a hammer and tap block would work too. good luck.

 

If you are going to pull it off, make sure when you are doing it that your face is out of the way. I managed to use the two-handed approach and got it between the eyes. Yeah it was stupid, I know.

Equium's ideas should work

 

ok, since you fessed up: when my **** was loose, i was giving my son's friend a ride home. my son (15) in the middle and his friend by the door. i was showing off and power shifted from 3rd to 4th and the **** came off and i smacked my son's family jewels. his friend and I were laughing so hard, the tears were flowing. my son didn't think it was so funny. he's doing better in choir, though.
