Yeah, the shift **** can really be tough to get off, and it seems the earlier production 350Zs are a little tougher than the newer ones. The above link is an excellent description of the process, but you may want to see some of the problems that other's encountered. Below is a link to the "search" I did on the forums which list quite a few relevant threads. Good luck and welcome to the board.

thanks for the help!

 

be carefulr in removing ****. Can damage shift real easy. I'm posting the page from the Nissan Shop manual. pdf. If you have a problem opening, I'll send by e-mail drbtc@adelphia.net

 

It says to protect the **** by using a piece of hose, but I found that by using a strap wrench it was very easy to remove. Using a set of pliers and a hose you still have to use a lot of force and clap onto the ****, with a strap wrench the strap locks it self onto the **** and a lot less force needed to grip onto the ****.

 

My shift **** was not coming off no matter what I did to it. I just ended up scuffing it a little bit. I took it to my dealership and they got it done no problem.

 

Yeah, i was pretty easy...

 

USE TWO WRENCHES!!! ONE TO STABILIZE STICK AND OTHER TO REMOVE ****. DON'T F-UP YOUR SHIFT MECHANISM LIKE I DID BY USING ONLY ONE WRENCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

 

Seriously, Like Z Boy said..........

 

Z Boy, how did you mess it up, and how did you get it fixed?
