Default ...

put the shifter into 3, you have to turn the key to the 'on' position btw. e-brake on just in case. the button you push to shift, pull that out, it doesn't come out, so don't try to take it out, you've gotta position yourself for this. while holding the button out, pull the shift **** off and it'll come off. don't be afraid b/c sometimes that bitch sticks on there like nothing.

Default hard. imagine hanging off of it, it's a bitch, keep going

remember to hold the button out, don't push it in, hold it out, all the way and pull off
