Removing screw for shifter!!!!! Please read

[The Wolf!]

The screw is tight as hell, and lock tighted in the d-hole of the shifter mount.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING A #30 TORX, THAT IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE.

I used a torx in a 1/4 socket on a 1/4 drive rachet. Make sure you are useing a #30 torx. you may have to grind the end of the torx to get the teeth good. Very little, the torx gets bigger the shorter you grind. make sure the torx is all the way in the screw and straight. its hella tight. if you completely strip out the torx you may have to use an easy out or even drill it out(worse case). if you destroy the screw, you can buy a m6X1 flat head cap screw from the hard ware store. if you have to drill it out. drill from the bottom, there is a hole in the bottom of the d-hole that the shifter goes into. Also drilling from the bottom, the drill will grab at some piont and break it loose.

Take your time, im not lying, this little screw is very tight.

heres the setup i used. remember nice and straight all the way engaged with a good condition torx.

Hey, that's what I used!

I found it's also easier to move the shifter all the way down into first gear, you get more room.

Good info to know. Gotta double check and make sure I have the #30 torx bit.

Your not joking when you say its tight!!....i went out and bought a new set of torx wrenches for this. I had a harder time tightning the screw then loosening it....i'm gonna have to go buy the socket type so i can get it tightned all the way.

Yep i did that too.

Mine was not that hard at all, guess I was lucky.

[1is2many]

mine was tight as fuck, but i influenced it with my tire iron. lol

[draggin_az]

mine was too. ended up stripped it out so that bitch got drilled.

5 min mod truned into a 2 hr mod. but the dealership gave me a free screw.....no pun intended.

[The Wolf!]

I always warn everyone. some that ive done have been super tight. glad it worked out though.

[unicknn]

any pics of where the screw is exactly?

[draggin_az]

its right at the base of your shifter. peel the boot back a lil bit and you'll see it

[Canyon08Z71]

Yup! Mine was on real tight.. 3/8" drive ratchet was required to remove the old and tighten in the new SSK shifter.

I just installed mine and used a ratchet and extension; mine wasn't tight as hell but real snug and everything went easy as pie. I lock-tighted the bolt again.
