wow i thought this thread would be dead by now...

 

so whats so bad about OBX shifters??? by the way my **** is also tight as hell, i tryed the vice grips and i cant get it off. im gonna re try today though..

 

OBX is ****, thats what if you wanna buy a SS then buy something that works... B&M. And keep trying the ****, took me two tried to get that bastard off.

 

OBX short shifters (and similar no-name or generic brand) have a tendency to break.

B&M ver.2 or C's (discontinued?) is proven good. Someone said Stillen has one but I've never seen it.

 

C's is a solid shifter not a short.
B&M is short but I have seen synchros take a dump when you use that shifter and beat on it. It is almost too quick.

 

there aint much wrong with the stock shifter... i like it. haha

 

mine was so hard to take off that i was using an adjustable wrench and just wrecked the ****. it still wouldnt come off and then i finally pulled with both my hand and hit my mouth hard as hell. it didnt hurt but my teeth went into my gums and cut it pretty good and i was bleeding pretty bad. funny stuff though. man i love my car

 

Same here. I actually run mine like this:



LOL

 

lol

 

Just tried to get my **** off with 2 monkey wrenches for leverage one on the **** and the other on the shaft. I completely stripped the leather and the plastic off the **** but it won't loosen up at all. Now I have a **** with ripped leather and chunks out of the plastic but it won't turn at all. Any ideas.

haha, mine still won't come off... I've ripped off the leather, then the rubber, then the plastic, now i'm down to the metal. This thing still won't come off. I thought i got it when i made it turn... Then i noticed the whole shifter was moving...

 

whats the thread measurements for the shifter on an 89 240 m/t? im tryin to find a **** at the local auto parts store that will fit.

 

take the hole shaft out go the the junk yard and get another where the **** will come off...
