some of you may ask. why not buy a freakin shifter u cheap *** !! oh well talk all you want. free mods are always the best especially if your bored and broke. besides why spend 150 bucks on a shifter when you can spend it on something else. stock shifter uses bronzoil bushings and i got em so im keepin my ****er. heres how you can do it too.
8. give the ball a good sand depending on how crazy you get with your hammer be patient and you probably wont need it
4 tips:
-if you heat it up to many times the shifter post, i guess you can call it, will expand too and it gets harder to move the ball. its better to heat up the ball really good the first time so that the ball expands more.
-the first time you heat it up keep an eye on it and you should see the solder smoke up or the oil burn off where the post and the ball are held together. that should be hot enough.
-keep it hot or it wont move
-when you have the hammer in one hand the upsidedown shifter in your other, make sure you hit the ball on the highest point, should be bottom back side of it. (i dont know a better description.)
