I want to have a different Shift **** in my Monte.
How difficult is it to remove and replace with an aftermarket one?

Any recommendations and photos appreciated.

 

Not hard at all. slide the leather boot down the shifter till you see what looks like the head of a staple. You can remove this with a small flathead screwdriver. It will come out towards the radio. pull it completely out then pull up on the shifter and PRESTO, one shifter **** removed. Need pictures let me know and I will get some.

 

sweet! curious, will most aftermarket shifters work for a swap?

 

I believe most after market shifter ***** come with adapters if needed. I want to find the one that montechick has.

 

I was curious about the shift **** replacement too.

That one looks similar (not chrome) to the one I saw in the pictures of montechick's. For a black interior, I think that polished dark aliminum would look nice.

 

Yeah I'd like to change mine to, Finding one with the button is hard to find (in stores, that is)

 

Pepboys and Autozone have a few. There are a lot on the internet also. Removing the old one takes maybe a total of 5 minutes.

Need video I can do that.

 

heres the one Im looking at...

That is one bad azz lookin shift ****. I'm thinking of making my own. I have a wood lathe and a chunk of maple.

 

so once you get the one we have out...the other one will go in no problem?.....and it works fine with the lock button beeing on top?
