wrap a towel around it and put some channel locks or a wrench on it and turn HARD.

 

I know I can physically do it ... I just feel like I am going to break something ...

.... here goes nothing

 

yeah...what he said. Towel, and chanel locks...trust me...it will feel like you are going to break it, but you wont.

Counterclockwise...of course.

 

What about holding the lower part of the shifter? You sure it's good to put so much strain on the whole shaft?

 

jim,
use a towel, and a crescent wrench. all you need is a little bit of leverage, and she will pop right off.

you should always have a towel handy when screwing around with your ***.

 

be careful though. I tried the above advice first time I got my **** off. It just twisted the whole shifter and almost broke the attaching bolt. You are better off taking out the center console, undoing the shift boot and putting vice grips on the lower part to steady it while using channel locks and a towel on the top

 

+2

You definitely need to put a pair of channel locks/vise grips on the section of the shifter underneath the shift boot.

 

Love the shifter, very unobtrusive to the hand and it looks great with the interior. Shifts feel very confident and are also very short, can't see wanting a much shorter shift then this.

great job guys, im sure this will be in my car for a very long time.

 

Glad to hear all the positive feedbacks!

And yes, the built-in throw reduction has been fully optimized using the stock linkage. Anymore than that would be insane IMO.

 

I'm using this **** with my Rouge and it works very well. If I had my druthers though I would have preferred a slightly larger diameter (~+1/4") and the commensurate extra mass.

 

Yeah ... we've got a few people out there also running this **** with the Rogue and they like it. I continue to be amazed, however. Don't you guys think that's too short and notchy? In either case ... I'm very glad it still works well!

 

It def takes more effort when cold, mostly 3-> 2 shifts. But with MT90, and warmed up it shifts pretty smooth. I'm sure that it'd be even smoother with MTL, but It gets pretty hot here in NorCal in the Summer and I want the extra shock protection .But ,when the gear oil is nice an toasty it's like a very smooth toggle switch .

 

finally received mine today! (I must be the last one, lol)

Thing is 10 times better in real life than in picture

Feels greate, I can't keep my hands off it! I'm reaching every 10 seconds just to feel it. It is very different from stock, much better... but requires getting used to it.

Don't know if it's my mind playing tricks, but gear engagement seems smoother too.

 

Terrific to hear...and yes...I think you were the last one. Yours had to travel the farthest!! Glad you are enjoying the ****.

 

I've got one last **** in stock. Then we'll be done for a while. You can still order on the website.

 

Been driving the **** for one week now and this thing is fabulous. It completely improved the driving/shifting experience, feels like a whole new shifter, everything is so sharp clear and direct.

Just for fun today I decided to put ye'old stock shift **** back to see the difference. My god did it feel like crap, in comparisson to the SS ****, it feels like holding a spongy wet turd!! (not that I ever hold one, lol). It's clumsy to hold and hard to find your hand around it and feels generally numb and clumsy to operate. Those who have installed the SS, you are screwed... you will never be able to go back to stock!!!

Thanks again

PS: as for the heat issue... in 32 degree under the sun, it doesn't significantly change temperature. Most of the heat in the shift **** comes directly from the transmission. Feels lukewarm after extensive driving.

 

Thanks for yet another positive feedback. Quite frankly, we don't get tired of getting them. *shameless*

For all THX SS **** owners ... it really is something to try and go back to the stock **** (temporarily) just for giggles. I'm fairly confident you'll tend to agree with Nano's impression.

 

Great to hear again! I also have tried the stock *****, and it feels very crude...like driving a truck or something.

I do have one left in stock, and that will be the last one for a while.

 

Are these still being produced?

 

nah ... I got the last one!! just kiddin ..... I got one if you wanna try it before you buy it
