bottom left cornor screw

there is a screw on the center console, while trying to take it out, all it does is turn, im trying to install my short shifter, got the screw closet to the shifter and the one on the glove box side
but the other one jsut will not come out, it just turns and turns and turns

well since it only screws into a piece of plastic (I believe), why not just pull it out since its already stripped, then replace it with a slightly thicker screw that will catch when you reinstall.



edit: better yet pull slightly on the console to apply pressure and then try unscrewing it at the same time, it may cut new threads and then you won't need to get a new screw or anything.

let us know how the short shifter install goes.

i hope you bought new es bushings to go in while your down there

stripping out those plastic holes that some of those crews go into is real easy, you have to learn not to torque those interior screws down so hard.
