You do not split the stick. You cut the rubber boot off the metal ring with a side cutter.
Then slide the metal ring up the shift handle.
When reinstalling, a little lube makes it easy, wd40, dish soap, just ablout anything slippery will work.

The old one i will just cut off but are you saying the new one will slide over the stick with enough lube?

Thanks Dave!

The rubber boot will stretch enough. Doesn't take much lube, just a spritz of wd40 is enough
