I'm having a rough time removing the shifter **** on my '07 Jetta. I have tried twisting it off, but it seems like it needs more force than is called for. Do I just twist hard as hell oris there another way? Any feedback is greatly appreciatted. Thanks

 

Thats an easy one. I think if you grip the shaft with a set of pliers or vice grips and it should twist off.

 

k, would that work for a 99 jetta wolfsburg mkIII as well? i tried taking mine off a couple weeks ago and it just seemed like the whole shaft was spinning.

 

yea just keep spinning it takes a while but the leather and **** is connected so idk i have a mk111 98 vr6 and there was a little box that popped right off around it but ur not moving the whole shaft thats exactly what i thoughti was doing but your good just keep spinning

 

k, thanks. still deciding on which **** i want, but i think i've narrowed it down to 2 or 3. will probably wait til my bday in march to get it.
