hey guys I am currently looking into replacing my shift ****, I don't like how the silver one is all slippery . My question is can this **** even be removed? if so how?

 

Just unscrew the bottom piece off, and pull on the ****.

 

oh ok lol, I didn't see the screw, I must not have looked hard enough, thanks!

 

Screw? There isn't a screw, just a bottom piece that unscrews from the **** allowing the **** to be pulled off of the lever.

 

oh lol, i'm so confused....i'll go out in the morning and figure it out ha ha

 

It is easy to remove. You will figure it out with no problem.

 

This thread has instructions, with pictures for the 6 speed manual.

After you unsrew the bottom trim piece, get ready to pull really really hard......and be careful not to hit yourself in the face once it comes loose

 

That ain't no $hit, my OEM **** wasn't to bad getting off. But when I put my SLK **** on I stuck it on backwards (DUH) and when I tried to get it back off I thought I was going to pull the whole shaft out of the tranny. I hope I never have to take that thing off again. I love the looks and feel of it.

 

I did that once with a wrench package and hit myself in the face with the adjustable wrench. 4 hours and a few stitches later I was good....not one of my proudest moments

 

Make sure you wear a football helmet.

 

Anyone know where I can get the black leather SLK shift **** (like in post #9)?
I've looked online at a bunch of places, but I have not been able to find one.
TIA.

 

Have you tried ebay? I've seen them there.

 

Yup. They usually have some, but they have wood, etc. on them. I just want a plain black one.

 

You might want to check with andrew. I'm nearly positive that it's the OEM **** [called a "handle"] from the '04 SLK that he had in his car, too.
