Dissection more than smashing, but I get your point.

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.

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!

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...
