I guess so.... but I changed the oil yesterday and it took an act of god to remove the oil filter cover. HOLY JESUS was it torqued down like crazy! A convo with my (old) Porsche tech is in the near future.

The press on lever feels like it never gunna come off. You need to pull like King Kong to get it. I've never heard of a allen set shifter not coming off unless the allen head is stripped out from over tightning (had this issue with seat allen screws on a 993). If your replacing the shift ****, just drill it out. If you want to reuse it and mess up the threads, just drill and tap it out one more size.
