How do you remove the shift **** on the MCS?

 

Pull straight up...keep pulling...almost...watch your forehead!

 

Also it might help to put it in second gear and with both hand under the ****, just pull up and watch out - you may pop yourself in the eye.

yeppers, BMW gearknobs are an interesting bunch.

Yank up with both hands firmly on the ****, yank up HARD

You may want to lean over it, with the **** near your chest, so you get better leverage, plus don't risk socking yourself in the face (A bruised chest is better than a black eye!)

Your virgin experience will be one you never forget!

 

Is that all?? You just pull it off?? And the new one I guess you would push it on?? Thats weird.

 

Find a new one that has a set-screw to make it stay put.

 

Ahahaha!

You're not a real Mini Cooper owner until you've had....

"THE black eye."

Then the misinterpretation sets in:
"You were pulling on your ****? Um...I don't wanna know!"

that would definitely be some "injury"

It really makes you think it has had a short shifter put in, because of its weight.

 

why did they design it so you HAVE to use some other shift ****? (since it's screw-on, not BMW-style ) ...........maybe so it doesn't come off in your hand like mine does on a hard 2nd shift.....very embarrassing!

 

I twisted and it snaped, and broke.

 

which part broke?

 

just pull, black eye sounds too dangerous

 

I've yanked on my **** quite a bit and it's never pulled off, but has come off a few times.

 

>>I twisted and it snaped, and broke.

You should never twist a BMW or MINI shift ****; you will break the anti-rotation key in the ****, then it will be able to spin, even though it will still stay on the lever.

Is that what happened to yours?

 

what, yank doesnt come off, pull it does?

 

If you ever get it off, get a Whalen. I can take it off so easily...you have to egt one!
