I installed my UPR shifter a couple of years ago and i guess i put too much RTV sealant on there cause now the damned thing wont come off. So now i cant get the UPR one off to install the mgw!!!! I tried using a pry bar to pry it off, pushing side to side, hitting side to side with a hammer, cussing at it. IT WILL NOT COME OFF. You'd think with a pry bar i'd be able to, but i cant get the a wedge in between the shifter base and the transmission. I've tried everything.. i think, for the better part of an hour pushing and pulling.
Any suggestions? the OEM Shifter came off farely easy with a long flat head screwdriver and some force... this thing just isnt coming off. The only way the pry bar would work was under the upper round party of the shifter. the whole tranny is moving, the shifter base isnt even budging. You think if i took her to a shop for install they could find some way to part the shifter base fromt the tranny??
