Dissection
 

Dissection more than smashing, but I get your point.:bouncy:

To clarify I wasn't suggesting anyone melt the damn thing off, I suggested the heat gun to either loosen up the rubber/plastic so it was more pliable/less bite on the shifter, or to loosen any epoxy that may be on it.

(CRE drops torch, pulls goggles off, hangs head and shuffles off mumbling disappointedly.)

btwilson86, i understood what you meant. i didnt mean to give the impression that i was litteraly going melt the WHOLE shift-knob. lol

and LOL to the rest of you who like destroying things

Melt away
 

Yes I understand that but heat can discolor chrome and if they used something like JB Weld or something heat resistent that would not work. Cre you crack me up!:rofl2:

........chrome? and i really hope that someone didnt go through the trouble of using that for a shiftknob......lol

well i still like my pipe wrench idea! (not chanel locks) there 2 different things~

hmm now i want a snicker... the chocolate bar

well, tired the pipe wrench today. still didnt even budge. wtf. lol
guess i'll wait till my girlfriend brings over her hair dryer. lol

maybe a pic of the shifter? or is it stock?
Mine is a short shifter with hockey tape and some plastic chrome ball.

Its excellent because it will pop off if you ever speed shift from 1st to second.. just to remind me that either my synchro is shot or something else is wrong.. therefore protecting second gear...
