There was a post somewhat on this not too long ago (maybe not exactly the instructions you are looking for) but maybe some other members can post instructions if they have already done this to their Vibe.In the meantime, check out: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=855
yeah it was mine, all you have to do twist it off, its threaded so its basically like taking out a huge nut on a bolt, then go to your auto parts store, actually go there first, you dont wanna be shifting with a metal rod hurts your hand, and get your self a nice momo knob or something, dont go cheap with APC sh*t, that was my mistake, the threads go stripped out, hard to explain, but im gonna have a good time trying to consider them to let me swap. anyhow, thats how you do it, piece of cake. takes 5 minutes.
