Burnin Luv Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hello, I'm trying to remove the automatic shifter knob, but I'm not sure how. I have removed the 2 screws from the shaft, but all that does is allow me to move it up and down about a centimeter and twist it a little bit. Is there something else I need to remove/loosen to get it to come off, or do I just need to apply the right amount of force at the right spot? I don't want to guess wrong and damage something. Forgot to mention...it is for a 2000 Impreza. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 If it's like my 90 legacy, I believe there is a cable, or something attaching it. I tried to get mine off, but after almost losing a screw & springs coming out, I just decided to put it back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin Luv Posted April 22, 2004 Author Share Posted April 22, 2004 Well, I got it off. After removing the 2 screws on the shaft, you have to pull out a metal pin on the bottom of the button. Then you can pull the button off with a little bit of force. Unfortunately, the reason I wanted to remove it was to replace it with the MOMO auto knob but it is a push down mechanism whereas the subaru shifter is a pull up. I wish I had known that before. Live and learn. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
