As I understand it this **** SIMPLY pulls straight up, but I am not having much luck, so any secrets here would be appreciated. I have the transmission in "D" and I have tried pulling up and pulling up with the shifter lever button pressed on the ****, and no luck either way. Any experience getting these off easily would be appreciated.

 

does it need to be in drive? when i got stuck in park the first time i just yanked it up, REALLY hard and it came out.

i think it helped that i was pissed off at the time.

 

Just pull up real hard. No B.S. just pull HARD. Don't be scurd...

 

This. I put it in N, straddle it, pull up HARD.

Try not to punch yourself in the face.

 

I took a break from pulling to post this thread, went back and pulled some more with lever in D and selector button pushed in, and it finally let lose after a few hard tugs with two hands, and I had my head out of the way, so no smack to the head

 

I have seen quite a few guys smack themselves in the face when doing this. lmao

 

You always want to shift into "N" or Drive the press the button and pull up.
