Hi All, I bought a cheap short shifter off Ebay some months ago and put it away whilst the engine and box were out of the car. Problem is I've now come to fit it and it won't split into it's constituent 3 sections - top section comes off but the bottom and mid sections are well and truly stuck together. As it is I can't fit it into it's 'pivot mount'. I've tried heat, mole grips etc but nothing will shift it - I've made a bit of a cosmetic mess of it now!

 

Anyone come across this before? Any suggestions how I gould get a better grip of the mid section? I've been back to the seller who hasn't been particularly helpful.

 

Cheers for any help.

I fitted my own a few months back, put it in a vice, and if i remeber correctly there should be a slotted edge to get a big spanner on there or some swan necks.
