Default Changing Shift ****
Anybody have any clear instructions on how to remove the shift ****? I'm replacing mine since the wood began to chip and fall off. I don't want to damage the shifter mechanism. Thanks!

Move the selector lever into D.
Rotate sleeve - 1 - clockwise until it engages. Slide sleeve down in this position.
Remove the handle - 2 - from the selector lever.

Put the shifter in neutral, push down on collar in yellow, and pull up on shifter ****.
