removing shifter

is it hard to remove the gear shifter (not just the ****, the whole stick thing) sorry im not technical with that stuff LOL.

but that freakin thing is in the way of getting my box out...i can build it in the car, but it'd be alot easier to get the box out to finish building it

I always like to refer to REAL OEM for this ...
A break down of the parts and the order they are assembled in, is often a great help .

I have done the removal and can't think of a short way to explain ...
see if the exploded view doesn't help you ... even more than I could write.

The Bentley Manual has a step by step about removing the shifter. It does require getting under the car, and probably dropping your exhaust system to get at the connections.

The Bentley for my '05 is on its way from Amazon, $79.00. Great resource.

I sold my "old" 2002-2004 Bentley to a fellow NAMer for $60.00. He's happy and I'm happy. I love the internet. :-)
