Hey guys, ordered a chrome shift ****, got it in a few days ago. My only problem is getting the old one off. There arent any screws, I have tried twisting it, I even tried pulling it off, but nothing. Whats the deal here, can anyone help?

 

dumb question here, but you spun it counter clockwise correct? and
double check for a tiny set screw, just because the new one doesnt have
one, doesnt mean the stock one wont either. good luck

 

Yes turned it counter clockwise, the old one doesnt have any screws but my new one does. Im just about to give up, will check with the dealership in a few days. Thank you

 

what year dakota do u have? i know in the 94 through 02 rams the shift **** on 5sp's just twist off.</P>


if all else falls bust out a pipe wrench and get it off with that.</P>

 

Take a small screwdriver and pop off the shift pattern, underneath is a nut.</P>
