I've read people use a rubber hammer or something to hammer the dam thing in, something heavy I can swing, but I got nothing at home unfortunately

What you did there... I see it.

I should clarify that you'd really use the butt of your hand which I realise doesn't make that any less funny.

wrap the hammer with towels and take solid swings, don't tap.

well wrapping the shifter with layers of towels + slamming a red brick at it did the trick (or well i slammed it once and it went right in). I thought i was screwed. Thanks for the input guys!
