It's an allen wrench.......

JOSEPH_KUWAIT

Well i tried alots of them but no one fits tightly.

It appears your screw is missing. They don't just fall out, the factory uses Loctite on them and they're a bear to remove (mine was a Phillips head, BTW, but I've heard they could be Torx or other...) Once the screw is out, the **** should just pull up off the shaft. I don't even see the chrome trim ring on the boot...did you buy the car used, has someone been messing with it?

JOSEPH_KUWAIT

Yes used but it's in good condition.

Well i tried so hard to pull it or rotate but no luck.
Is it possible that they glued it ?

JOSEPH_KUWAIT

I think i wont be able to replace it.
Maybe if i want. I have to replace the hole shifter

Al Gumby

Something's not right with your shifter, yeah it could be glued on...but why...I wish you luck...

JOSEPH_KUWAIT

Thanks. I will see if shifter change will help. Like mgw or something

You'll have to get the **** off to change the shifter unless you cut the boot out.

Tommy1995

Are you able to slide the boot down all the way so that it's out of the way? Where is the chrome ring that goes around the boot where it meets the ****?

drich2905

the screw that goes in **** can be purchased at Lowe's. I have the package from my '08 when I replaced the **** a few years ago. If you need the number let me know and I can try to find the package and post the number for the screw.

INTRCUL

With the bolt removed you have to rotate the **** before it'll separate from the shaft. That brown stuff in the hole is probably glue though since you would most likely have accidentally spun it around since the screw is already missing. Without knowing what type of glue it is it's hard to recommend a way to deal with it. Gorilla glue is brown though and water based, but I don't know if water can be used to soften it after it has already set up.

If it is a allen screw, have you tried metric as well as standard wrenches?

JOSEPH_KUWAIT

well there isn't one. Maybe he didn't put after replacing the ****.

I can slide the boot down but there is so kind of ball or something in the bottom.

JOSEPH_KUWAIT

thanks if you can put the part number. Maybe it will help me with installing the new somehow

JOSEPH_KUWAIT

Will i tried rotating it hard but it wont. Iam afraid to break something if i put more pressure

JOSEPH_KUWAIT

Well i dont know what you mean by metric allen keys.
But i bought a set of them. And also ones with different head shape. Some sizes go through but wont hold tight so ican rotate hard

lovinmyls1

There may not be a allen in there ( original screw may be missing) but if there is, the set of allen keys you bought should be metric and SAE as it could be either.

JOSEPH_KUWAIT

Aha thanks i will check them out. My final prediction is it glued with no screw

Tommy1995

If it is glued on then my suggestion would be to pull the shifter boot all the way down as far as you can get it and heat the shaft of the shifter with a heat gun to somewhat loose in the glue. Then you might be able to pull it off
