Hi all,

I told a friend who owns a 931 ( 1981 ) about the possibility of making his original shifter a short shifter, the grind-and-weld-method as described in the How-To section.

We're planning to try this out BUT I have no idea how to get the shift knob off without destroying it. The press fit seems to be VERY snug.

Any pointers please? I hate it when what should be a relatively straightforward thing turns.. eh.. interesting .

Whatever insight you have, fire away

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!

Eliza

You should be able to unclip the boot from the center console and pull up on the knob to separate it from the lever, right? That's how mine came out.
