Installed the rogue short throw shifter and now the shift boot is loose. I can push it down about 1/2 inch or so. It's not tight like it should be.

 

Have the Rogue too. Mine doesn't do that.
**** screwed all the way down? Got that little metal spacer in and/or in the right way (beveled side down on shifter)?

All I can think of.

 

The spacer is NOT in. I would think that would make it even worse, wouldn't it?

 

Makes sense that it would and see where you're coming from with that (push **** even further up shifter) Think install instr said to still use it. I am.

I can take pix later of mine if you want.
You try threading **** down more?

 

Yeah its super tight and still has a lot of space left.

Something is not right with this.

When you got yours did it have instructions for 350z also? Mine did and I assume its the same shifter for both cars, I hope. Although when I ordered it I specified the G35 shifter.

 

Yeah...mine instr was for the 350Z. It's the same. Only diff was the trim plate removal was for the Z not G. Everything else inside looked the same Z/G.

Another though. I remember my oem **** had all sorts of weird gummy crap inside on threads. Some weird lock thread gunk. Cleaned that up by working it a lot on stock shifter threads back and forth till it threaded easily and all the way down little by little. PITA, but it went on my Rouge without a hitch.

Hmmm...two more (sry these bad) it's cross threaded on shifter and won't thread down more. Or...they sent you wrong thread pitch on shifter. G/Z's are 10mm 1.25 pitch. Think Hondas and such are 10mm 1.5 pitch, but Rogue doesn't make shifters for Hondas. What BMW uses...dunno.

A 1.5 onto 1.25 pitch or whichever way, will thread to a certain point then not thread down any further b/c of thread pitch differences and will be tight, but will not be threaded all the way down. Man hope the past two thoughts are not your situation.

I know about the pitch thing unfortunately from experience. Bought a Ti **** once to put on my Rogue. It was a 10mm but they sent me 1.5 pitch not the Nissan 1.25 pitch and didn't notice that till it was on. It was a mother ****** to get back off cuz it didn't look or feel right threading on. It gawled from different thread pitches and **** got destroyed in the process of removing Expensive lesson learned. Ti **** wasn't cheap

G/L bro with all that and sorry for the novel
Hope it helped some...with good/bad possibilties.

 

wow, thanks for really trying to help. I am just out of ideas. I guess i'm gonna wait and call 350evo monday and send them pics to and see what they suggest.

Anyone else, please chime in. I know there's a lot of people with rogue shifters on here.

 

anyone else have this?

 

come on rogue guys. need a solution for this, bugging the **** out of me.

 

OK, figured out the problem. The shift **** was cross-threaded.

New shift **** works perfect and this short throw shifter is awesome. feels great.

 

Glad you got it figured out. Yes agree it's awesome. Have a S/S **** on top of Rogue for even shorter shifts

Enjoy.....

 

not normal

 

im have the same issue. what do you mean by "cross threaded" and what other **** did you end up getting?

 

it means the threads INSIDE the shift **** were crossed, not allowing it to tighten down all the way. Even though it felt like it was screwed down all the way it was really only about halfway down.

I bought a new OEM shift **** because I love it and havent found an aftermarket **** i like better.

MOMO has a few i liked but not more than the OEM one.

 

why didn't you just reuse your old OEM ****?
