Ok so at the risk of being labeled "the guy who can't even install a shift ****", I need help installing a shift ****...I took off the stock shift ****, got the 10mm black titanium nismo shift **** and go to install it. I opened the box and there's the shift **** and the black rubber gasket type thing. slide the gasket on and then i realize the inside of the shift **** is not threaded, and is loose as heck. there's no holes for screwing the bish on so i'm kinda lost...do i not have everything that is suppose to come with it? thanks in advance...

 

HAHAHAHAHAH CANT EVEN inatall a shift ****.. what a noob!!!!
Just changed your phone number contact to "the guy who cant even install a shift ****"
jk
It sounds like your missing something. Your supposed to be able to screw it on. Did you get it used or new?

 

Pics?

 

Defective?

 

haha wait till the 20th and i'lll show you how to drift w/o having the "off road" edition z...i'll put up some pictures tomorrow. I got the shift **** used, guy claimed he had everything there...all two pieces...anyone have this **** and know if the inside of the **** is threaded or if there are additional pieces i need?

 

whatever dude.. You know i want to be a rally driver.. and which **** are you talking about?

 

 

I really hope you did not over pay.. I say this because there is no Black Titanium Shift **** of that type. That is a Black Aluminum Shift **** you have there.. There are also Polished and Carbon/Aluminum Versions. How much did you purchase it for?

BTW i think that the plastic threading is most likely been removed.. you can follow what this guy did when he melted all the plastic threading from his shift **** while making it unique. https://my350z.com/forum/body-interi...-coloring.html

Good Luck

 

here's a link to what i got

from the picture, it looks like i got everything...there's the **** and the rubber base...mine lacks the shift pattern placard...but as stated, the inside of the **** isn't threaded and is too big for me to "make" it thread

btw, i paid $40

 

yeahhhh i was thinking about the epoxy route but unfortunately, the navy just moved me here so i'm trying to make due with limited tools and such...although it is looking like the way to go...

 

You bought a $40 paperweight. I have that same ****, bought brand new though. There should be a white plastic looking piece that's inside the ****. From what I remember it doesn't have threads and I'm assuming they are made as you screw it on.

 

The white plastic that should be inside is self-threading. If it's there, then just unscrew the old one, and screw on the new one. Use a little downward force when you thread the new one on.

For the record, I had a little regret for buying the black aluminum shift ****. During hot summer days, my sweaty hands would sometimes slip right off the ****.

 

yeahhh idk, its definitely not threading on, box and instructions say its a 10mm ****...just pulled the trigger on a new one...gotta unload this one now...

 

I got the same ****. Put on the rubber gasket then push the shift **** hard on to the thread and twist. It will thread itself on to the shifter. Hope i could help.

 

the white plastic piece is what you might be missing. black material + hot sunlight = fail

 

get a TK... you'll never understand how a shift **** can feel so right haha

 

wow idk wtf is going on. NEW shift **** came, and its TOO EF'n BIG. i re-screwed-on my stock shifter and it went right back on no problem! i'm soo lost. these nismo ***** aren't even close to fitting...

 

did you remove the metal type ring?

 

+1, I took mine off the other day and forgot how heavy it actually was compared to my other crappy shift ****.

 

What is this you speak of? Off the stock ****, new **** or shifter??
