    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It must be amusing to the people that design these things anticipating someone like myself coming along trying to remove it. I'm talking about the little clip that holds on the shifter linkage. Is there any kind of special tool I can get to remove it? I've gotten really good at spinning it around, but I'm over that now and would like to move along.

you need a snap ring tool. similar to pliers, it has little pegs to spread that ring and pull it from its recess. like this, but they come in MANY forms:

get one at your local auto store (NAPA, Autozone, Schucks, etc)
 
That would be called a snap ring/circlip plires...go to the auto parts store or Sears, or give Snap On a call. If you can, get one with the interchangeable tips and reversing direction.
