How to Remove the Gear Shift on a Manual Transmission Ford F 150

How to Remove the Gear Shift on a Manual Transmission Ford F-150

A Ford F-150s gear shift is simple to remove. It is also a repair procedure that doesnt require disabling the F-150s airbag system, unlike many of the components located in the dashboard. There are two major reasons why you might consider doing this. If youre revamping and customizing the F-150s interior, the shift lever boot, the lever and the knob likely have aftermarket options to consider. On a more pragmatic level, you will need to remove the gear shifter entirely if you are going to access and work on the manual transmission.

Instructions

    1

    Remove the shift boots four retaining screws located at each corner of the boot. You will have to lift up the corner to get at the screws.

    2

    Pull the boot directly upward to expose a nut and bolt on the lever. You do not need to remove the boot completely from the lever. So you can leave the shift knob alone.

    3

    Unscrew the nut with a socket wrench. Then push the threaded side of the bolt through the lever. Grab the bolt by its other side and pull it out of the shift lever.

    4

    Remove the lever from the square mounting boot beneath it.
