Anyone have troubles with VSS?
WEll im trying to get my mechanical vss outta my si tranny to replace it with an electric one so i can run my jdm cluster. and im having a bitch of a time getting the mechainical one out.
Ive tried just bout eveythign i could think of and i dont really want to break it off, cause that happened to me before and wasnt very good.
Anyone have any good ideas, tips to get the old one out?
the tranny is outta the car btw

grab it with some chanell locks and twist it side to side and it should break loose then you can twist it some more and pull up on it.

tighten them down more 
tight as you can get em! and twist that bitch loose. It always worked for me. Also could try soaking some liquid wench or WD around it too.
