How do you pull the stick shift **** off and replace it with an aftermarket one?

 

I think you just pull? Mine came off in my hand one day while I was driving lol... I just kept right on going to the nearest Kmart and got me a nice 8-Ball ****

 

I see a lot of you changing the shift *****. I changed mine a while back. The damn hex screws the aftermarket ones come with always keep getting loose... Anyone else with that problem? What can I do to secure those suckers?

Thanks

Try Locktite! You can find it in any hardware store.

 

I ended up having a problem not with them coming loose, but rather with them sticking out too far and cutting my fingers all up lol... ended up wrapping electrical tape around them, it matches the black **** and black column and nobody ever notices it
