ok, I tried to remove my shift **** when putting in new headunit. Wrapped the **** with a cloth and used wrench, slightly messed up leather.
Took a nylon strap and vice grips and twisted like it was an oil filter wrench. made 1 whole turn and nothing happened except shifter felt extremely afu.
took shifter out of car, used vice grips on base, and nylon strap/ vice grips on ****. Made 3 complete turns and still didn't break loose.
Any ideas? Now I need a nismo ****, since the stock one is marred, im thinkng hav ethe dealer install, even though it goes against everything I believe.

I never removed the shift know to change out my HU. Simply lift op the trim piece, remove the Temperature control ribbon cable, and slide is sideways out of the way.
