Hey how do you get that white 'cup' off the end of the stock shifter

 

Use some pliers. Don't damage it though. You can heat it up with a heat gun/hair dryer or hot water to expand/soften the plastic a little which could make it easier. Be sure to put fresh lithium grease on it when re-installing it.

 

you can also take the closed end of a hand wrench that fits around the plastic cup then work it off slowly.

 

x2 on that. I actually dipped mine in some super hot water to soften it up.

 

Yeah hot water worked for me too

 

I used 2 open end wrenches just larger than the metal shaft on my ge pried one against the other, very easy that way. My gd one I struggled a bit with a different method
