Default DIY shift **** swap

got me some bling. . .

they were on a slight back order, however I like the results. . .looks very slick

anyway, to the shifter. here is what the stock shifter looks like for the NV5600. . .and as you can see I have a slightly inverted H pattern



to remove the old ball just get a small flat tip and pry the center cap out.








once you have the center cap out, it just takes a 15mm socket to remove the retaining nut, then the stock shifter ball just spins off.

here is the new ball next to the old




and the new one mounted




the new ball is about the same size as the old shifter ****. . .but it definately stands out[8D]

Never mind, I posted between your first one and your second one.
