hey guys! so i attempted to install my stillen short shifter on my 06 G35 coupe and none the less all went smooth up until i had to press the old shifter out of the cup. i used the vise method but without any luck. three fins cracked off while pressing it out. i saw this coming a mile away. im gonna go see nissan on monday to see if i could order the cup :s my question is..... what method are people using to do this. im out of options, but the logic behind it seems to be quite simple. has anyone tried heating up the cup while pressing in a frozen shaft. maybe that might work. thanks in advance, all help is appreciated

Oh oh! I have a perfect solution for this. So what I did was take a jack stand, remove the adjustable piece so you are just left with the stand a squareish hole. I put the short shifter in and use two long pieces of metal on the sides of the cup. Used a wrench and a big flat head screw driver. The thing went in super smooth and there was no damage to anything. The hole of the jack stand was perfect to fit the shifter in.

Okay sounds like a plan! As soon as I order one monday morning I'll try it out the way you said. I'm gonna call nissan and give the same part code as the one you have dispalyed on the thread. I hope it'll be the same for a 06 G coupe! Will update this week! Next solution is pop it on a drill press and press this thing in before I loose my mind
