Installed new Momo shift knob today
Re: Installed new Momo shift **** today
Heck, there's hardly any manufacturer will encourage you to take a power tool to their product. As you can see from mine, it's just a big chunk of solid aluminum with chrome plating and a bit of leather trim, the only screw up I could imagine is if you got carried away and went through the top of the shift **** with the drill. I put a piece of masking tape on the drill bit to mark where I wanted to stop. As I got closer to the final depth, I stopped rechecked frequently!
Well, the alternative is to take a Sawzall to the shifter shaft.

I got my Momo shift **** on Ebay.

Is it really tight? - Obviously, thats why it is so hard to pull off
Roof down? - No need but make sure your face is out of the way for when it comes off
Turn as you pull? - No
Your welcome Ron

Aha! Read below, now I know why of late, I curse more when opening jars. The interesting bit is highlighted in red.
You just need to get some young guy to pull on your **** .
The role of muscle loss in the age-related decline of grip strength: cross-sectional and longitudinal perspectives.
Kallman DA, Plato CC, Tobin JD.
Gerontology Research Center, National Institute on Aging.
The decline of strength with age has often been attributed to declining muscle mass in older subjects. To investigate factors which might influence changes in strength across the life span, grip strength and muscle mass (as estimated by creatinine excretion and forearm circumference) were measured in 847 healthy volunteers, aged 20-100 years, from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. Cross-sectional and longitudinal results concur that grip strength increases into the thirties and declines at an accelerating rate after age 40. However, the grip strength of 48% of subjects less than 40 years old, 29% of individuals 40-59 years old, and 15% of subjects older than 60 did not decline during the average 9-year follow-up. Grip strength is strongly correlated with muscle mass (r = .60, p less than .0001). However, using multiple regression analysis, grip strength is more strongly correlated with age (partial r2 = .38) than muscle mass (partial r2 = .16). Additionally, a residuals analysis demonstrates that younger subjects are stronger and older subjects are weaker than one would predict based on their muscular size. Thus, while strength losses are partially explained by declining muscle mass, there remain other yet undetermined factors beyond declining muscle mass to explain some of the loss of strength seen with aging.

Re: Installed new Momo shift **** today
No Momo, used AutoZono:
Installed 2 shifter ***** from AutoZone, one on Snow White Alabaster Limited Cpe $19.95
and one on Blue Boy Aero Blue SRT6 cpe $14.95.
Both installed easily. I did drill the **** about 1/2" deeper for aesthetics.
Ease of removal....Be sure lower collar is completely unscrewed from ****. Use a large pair of water pump (Slip Joint) Pliers and put the handles around the shaft between the collar and the ****. Close handles enough to move up and down without scratching the shift rod, and using an upward "tapping" motion with both hands on the pliers, gently tap the **** up. When it's loose, pull it up by hand. Be sure to use the correct size replacement collar (comes with 3) position the **** and tighten the 3 allen screws.

Here is the new Walmart lightup BLUE Shifter. For about 15 dollars it could be cool if it fits right. Any thoughts? Ron
