all, just bought my ranger, I hate the stock shift ****, I purchased a new "universal" ****, but can't figure out how to reove the old one. I hate to destroy the stock **** in the process of removal in case the new one does not work. I am new to this stuff, so any help would be great.

thanx

 

pull up on it real hard and turn it back in fourth and it should come right off

 

Thanx, after I posted I searched and what do you know I am not the first person to have that problem. If not the dremel and cuting wheel may have to be enlisted.

 

That, or a hairdryer does work. Just takes time and force.

If you're gonna pitch the old shift ****, I'd be interested in buying it from you...

 

its glued on, normally on a really nice hot day around 90 you can just pull it off. in the winter/fall good luck... keep pulling and it will come off and smack you in the face..dont ask my how i know this...

 

I messed with it yesterday, pulled the cap with the shift pattern on it and just got baffled. I have a 95 if that makes a difference, but I think I will put my 11 year old on it, he is great a taking things apart, my job is putting them back together. thanx again for all of the help

 

LOL.. when i first got my truck mine came off when i was shifting into second and flew behind the seat....
