I have a 2004 manual tranny ranger and i cant get my shift **** off are there any tricks i need to know or is mine just being a ***** to screw off.

 

it has splines it has to pull off.. you need it to get hot.. then pull really really hard, then maybe it will come off, or break it..

 

^^What Zach said. They don't screw off. They are mounted to splines, so up and down grooves, and attached using some crazy bad *** glue. some people actually came off on them while shifting in the summertime. lol. What are you trying to accomplish? put on a ricer shift ****?

 

Don't knock yourself out when you are pulling really hard....seen that done a time or two.

 

Seems we have the opposite problem, mine wont stay on...

 

in my '96 ranger i held the sifter lever and hit the top of the **** with a hammer to break the glue loose.

 

hurst chrome shifter with pistol grip!!!!! next mod after gauge cluster. muhaha....

 

ha mine flew off while shifting in to second lol

 

mine did that to me too

 

im trying to get mine off so i can put on an 8 ball shift ****. so if you get it off what does it look like. is there a little point that the 8 ball shifter will fit over hopefully

 

Not sure what the connector is on yours but the ones I've seen needed to be drilled out a little more then used epoxy to hold it on the shifter.

 

I did that after I bought my 2000. The damn thing kept coming off when I shifted gears It came with screws, but I ended up gorilla glueing it on. The 8 ball **** was kinda cool though, the hurst was even better.

 

i dont really have any tips for getting it off other then just pulling really hard but ive been drilling holes into pool ***** for a while for my buddies just did a 1 ball for my buddy in a yellow ranger and an 8 ball not to long ago for my truck since its black :P but most of my buddys just get them to match the car pretty easy drill a hole fill it with epoxy put it on and never get it off.
