Question

Ok, this might seem like a dumb question, but I ordered a new shift **** and am trying to figure out how the old one comes off. I've attempted to twist it, but there's clearly something holding it in place.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I replaced mine and yes it feels as if it's not coming off , but it is. The threads are very fine and it just takes a lot of turns ...

The bottom of the stock shift **** actually has a lip on the bottom that the top of shift boot slides over (tight fit) see picture attached
Lift the bottom of the shift boot out of the console and turn the **** and boot as a unit counter clockwise untill it comes off.
Then once off if you look in the inside of the boot. The round black plastic piece is the bottom of the shift ****. twist and pull the shift **** out of the top of the boot.

Perfect, thank you very much! Exactly what I needed.

Looks like your question was answered (which is good because I was curious too), and now I've got my own question. What **** did you order, and how did you know that it has the proper threads? Do the Mustangs from previous years have the same threading?
