i know this is the wrong section, but it always gets the quickest response.


YES I have used the search function and i can't find anything other than people saying how much of a problem they had taking theirs off.


I wanted to know, for anyone who had a problem, how the f*ck did you get it off?! i've tried for a solid hour with 2 wrenches and im just starting to tear the leather on my stock ****.. i got a Nismo shiftknob and i can't put that sum ***** on cuz i can't take the stock one off! i hear 2003's have this problem.. but i have an 04!

someone please let me know what the hell you did, thanks.

 

yea, this is pissin me off :[ i want my nismo **** on :[

 

use a little bit of crisco.

 

lirl

 

Yeah.. just dont make the mistake of trying to take it off in middle of driving. I had just picked up a nismo **** and decided to unwrap it and install it on the way home. I also drive aggressively.

 

I just removed mine the other day. I initially started with the wrenches but simply could not get enough torque with them, threw the wrenches aside, literally cuz I was pissed, and layed my right hand on the ****, left hand over my right, squeezed the crap outta the **** and turned. Didn't budge, started sweating like crazy, got more pissed, kept trying until finally it moved ever so slightly, took a break. Came back a short time later and used the same method, BAM, off she came. I guess its just one of those things man.

 

Ha ha, dude your crazy man!!!!!

 

I just stwisted hard and mine unscrew??? Maybe you guys need a little more muscle?

 

man.. but i need my hand strength for later on tonight :[, but srsly, i heard if you dont hold the bottom below the shift boot it could damage your tranny..

i need a big strong man to help me, LOL.

 

Yea, I don't endorse my method at all thats for sure. Maybe get someone to hold the shaft with vice grips and you try to turn it.

 

been there, done that :[

 

Okay, well it sounds like at this point you don't care if you destroy it. Do you have a dremel. Take it off in pieces, its the threaded part of the **** you need to get to. Maybe hit it with some Liquid Wrench at that point, could get messy, but its got to come off!!!!!

 

same, mine came right off (not that it helps you though ).

maybe you'll just have to say bye bye to the oem ****, and just destroy it.

 

FINALLY got it off.

anyone wanna buy my shiftknob?

it's in great shape.

 

Looks about right, glad ya got it off .

 

whats with the instructiond mentioning the radiator hose needed? IS IT for a better grip around the ***?

 

how did you get yours off kayfunk?

been trying to get mine off too, that mfer wont budge.

 

Righty tighty...lefty loosey....


Maybe you were doing a righty tighty.

 

Ouch sucks, mine came right off. Like, right off. 30 secs....
