shifter removal.
Hi everyone.
took the shifters pinch bolt out, shifter still isnt coming out, im thinking its seized but before i start beating it with a hammer i wanna know if anyone has ever experienced a shifter that wouldnt come off. 97 sporty w/ mid controls. One more thing, manual says the pinch bolt is the only thing holding it on, someone please tell me im missing something obvious, i dont wanna have to get a blowtorch
thanks in advance guys and gals.
ps im not going to hit it with a hammer

What he said ^. Make sure when you tap on the screwdriver to force the slot open you don't bend the shift shaft. I use the screwdriver for removal and installation. Be sure when you put it back on that the pinch bolt lines up with the designated slot in the shift shaft.
