Ok, I know this lame. I bought a Nismo shift **** and now I need to install it. So I goto uninstall the old one, and damn that f'er is on there good! Eric at Boulder Nissan said to get under the shift boot and twist it from there, but I don't see where to twist from.... So anybody that has done this, got any hints???

 

get a towel and a pipe wrench. wrap the handle with the towel and apply the pipe wrench and turn like a *****. It is on good, but once you break the seal it will come right off.

Thanks for the info!

OOORAH, SEMPER FI!!

 

anytime Devil Dog

 

CRANK that sob off, drive your butt up here and I,,,, well Shannon will twist it off ! Kidddin Will, did you get it? picts!
Kev

 

Nope, not installed yet. Been too lazy to do it....... If I can't get it, I will let Shannon show me up and get that stock one off.

 

I could be wrong, but I thought there was an allen screw somewhere that locked the **** in place. I haven't changed mine out, so let us know how it works when you're done.

I want to install it, but I have been really lazy lately. Boulder Nissan said they would help, but how lame would I be if I had the dealership install a shift ****!?!?!

 

Do you really want an answer to that?

 

+1.

 

I was thinking how lame it would be if Shannon could twist it off but you couldn't. That's like asking the wife to open the pickle jar.

Anyhow... I'll be in the same boat when I get home. I have the Nismo Ti **** sitting in the garage.

 

Robert, you got a bit of work to do on that thing. What day are you home?
Kev

 

Ok so I still haven't installed this stupid thing. When I really get to twisting the old one off, I feel like I'm gonna break something........

 

Will, you will feel some flex to the shift shaft ,, but it will break loose.
Kev

 

I finally got off my lazy a$$, got out a big f'n pipe wrench and got the stock **** off and installed my CF Nismo Shift ****.

 

Good deal Will, looks great!

 

Well I took your advise and mine is not coming off. It started to move, but it did not get any easier to get off. I took off the panel with the boot and look underneath and the rubber boot under the leather one is all turned around. I must be doing something wrong here cus everything i turning not just the ****! Is there a step before turning that is really obvious that I missed here?

 

DD- I am so glad you finally jerked hard enough to get your **** off!!!!!!

Robert of course he wants me to do it!! LOL

Love you DD
Shannon

 

Who wouldn't though?

 

Yes......you missed a step.
You were suppose to hold the shift under the leather in place with a pair of visegrips to keep it from turning and moving. I am pretty sure that you damaged something.
