Shifter removal
On my 5 speed transmission, does the black shifter lever separate from the base? I tried twisting it off but it doesn't seem to want to go, I'm afraid of breaking it. I need to get it off so I can heat the bottom part of the lever that's part of the shift tower so I can move the shifter position slightly.
Thanks

Poor Man's shift lever retainer removal tool:
here is a pic out of the manual that shows the SST:
since i had the idea of using an old socket or some tubing I thought I would give it a shot. 6 minutes with the grinder I had this:
1" square tubing, notched and bent in slightly to fit in the shifter retainer
slip it over the shift lever
use your tool of choice, push down and turn to the left about a 1/4 turn
bingo:
