Removing Paddle Shifters
Alright folks, this may sound like a crazy idea, but I hate the paddle shifters. I use the Camaro as a daily driver in heavy traffic, and I'm constantly hitting them with my fingers. And I'm way too old to learn how to shift with them, so no need for them to be in the way.
So, is there an easy way to remove them? |

Although I enjoy using a dremel, I think the next guy might want them. |

Not really a secret, the vette and all the chev airbags remove the same.

This is a great idea. I may do it too. Glen, was a puller needed to get wheel off?
