I was told by the dealership that the shift **** does not come off by itself and the whole shifter has to come off to replace the ****. Sounds kinda ridiculous to me, is this true?

 

No, you have to trade in the whole car.

Yeah, that sounds ridiculous.

 

Hells naw! Turn it to the left. I wonder about dealerships sometimes.

 

Im beginning to wonder about this dealership after he said that to me.....

 

Yeah, thats thing about Mazda, built Ford tough, so you can't take the shift **** out. lol
Thats bs just turn it.

 

I thought a person had to just remove the transmission to swap the shift ****.

j/k

Wait is this on an auto or manual transmission?

The manual shifter screws off by twisting it.

I'm not certain about the auto **** though.

 

lol...its a manual....I already got the dealership to commit to replacing the ****...it was scratched when i got it.
