hey guys, I have been trying to twist off the shift knob of my 05 evo and it just won't twist off. Any suggestions? thanks guys

 

twist harder it comes off

 

use a hammer or a blow torch..it will come off

 

lefty loosy, righty tighty

Try to support the shifter shaft (keep it from turning) by gripping it with a hard piece of rubber and some vise grips, or else you will be putting stress on the shifter assembly, which is mostly plastic.

if its that mitsu alluminum shift knob ohh boy u better have a good man grip but all knobs will come off i say wait till it gets real hot like a 95 degree day and let ur car sit in the sun it will expand a little

 

Might I suggest a can of spinach?

 

A couple of hours alone with some **** should get your fore arm ready for the task!!!!! (sorry for that tasteless jk but i just had to)

 

Go to your local handyman store and get one of these. http://www.toolprice.com/product/6996E

 

would this work, have you tried it? thanks

 

I imagine it would. I have one in my gagarge I could try in my greddy shift knob.

 

I like the strap wrench idea. I also recommend following the suggestion of holding the shifter to help support it. If you are using that much force the plastic might crack.
