Re: noob clutch question
74. There is a "bayonet" type cover over the base of the shifter you have to remove then the stick will just lift out. Do it in neutral. I use water pump pliers and it ain't easy. Open the pliers just large enough to fit above the lip at the top of the cap. Push down HARD and turn counterclockwise until you feel it hit a "stop" then let it up and lift stick out. When reinstalling, set stick back in easy and make sure the shift ball sets down in the neutral slot then reverse the above. Good luck.
