aftermarket shift ****.

i remember seeing somewhere that there is some special way of taking off your shift **** to replace it.

can somebody post up real fast an how to....or point me int he right direction.

thanks guys

is your IS300 5spd?

I was considering buying one before I got the Z but couldn't for the life of me find a 5spd that was in good condition...i hear they only make 1,000 a year or so.

To make it easier for all, I'm posting Sean's instructions.....Hope you don't mind Sean, Dave

 

Hi Sean, I have a site there too.....Check it out, you might want to add a guestbook or something......Dave

thanks dave...yea knowing who visits the site would be cool with the guestbook

then it makes me think that i made it for a purpose and not my own self...<-girlfriend thinks i'm crazy

anycase, i hope that all this 'pointless' *in her eyes* material comes to use

 

Thanks Sean, for not thinking I was plagerizing your work.....I hope My site leads to bigger and better things also......In the meantime, It's a GREAT learning tool, Dave

 

your right 5 spds are hard to come by....but not impossible.

I had an 01' auto obviously....sold it about 9 months ago...and got a brand new 04' MT. I love it.

thanks a lot you guys for the great thread.

now i can see if this custom CF shift **** fits on the Z.

 

why we cant just turn the shift **** and take it out ? I had a celica and i never cut anything to remove the shift **** ?

 

wow, thanks man!

 

i couldn't tell you why you can't just unscrew it without doing the steps above...but i like to follow service manuals rather than trying to do something that might harm the car...the service manual steps will not harm anything.

plus this is really easy and now i can just unscrew my shiftknob whenever i want without all that locktite and i have a sexy **** that (i think) shifts easier and better than the stock shifter

 

ps. you don't have to cut anything on the car...

just something to protect the shift lever from the visegrips
i.e.- a rubber hose

i wouldn't suggest anyone cut their radiator hose ON their car

DISCLAIMER: i assume no liability on radiator hoses on the car and or messed up trannys...do at your own risk!! haha

 

jeez...i just attempted to get a nismo shift **** in, with the help of my roommates, and this seems to be impossible. i held the shift lever with a set of pliers, and they each took turns trying to twist the **** off with their hands. now they are both strong guys, and neither of them could even get the **** to budge. they twisted hard enough to screw up the leather on the **** and it still didn't move.

anyone have some advice on what i should try next?

 

it easier to hold the visegrip with your opposite strong hand and sometimes easier when sitting in the driver side...

good luck, it's a ***** but you'll get it

 

man...i was holding the pliers with both my hands, and my roommates each tried twisting with both their hands, and from both seats...
i dont know what to do

 

well i wouldn't try too hard or you might damage something with a slip of the wrench or something...try instead of using hands to twist of the **** a new wrench with some rubber around the **** so you can get some leverage...

if it doesn't work tonight, try tomorrow...

 

dayum i never expected this thread to keep going......hopefully i dont have as much trouble.
