Hey guys just received my Nismo Gt shift **** and I was wondering does anyone know a good DIY? I found 2 but they are both for the shift boot and they don't talk much about the shift **** but I don't want to do anything that will harm my transmission. Help plzzzz or any tips on how I can remove the OEM shift ****?

It unscrews, but it has lock tight on it so it's a little hard to get off....wrap a towel around it so you don't harm the leather and get something to get a good grip and turn it counter clockwise....i just did mine.

 

Thanks a lot I'll try tonight

 

I bought one of these and then pulled down the boot and used a vise-grips on the shaft (haha) for back-torque. Easy-Peasy

 

Where did you get that? and what is it called? Thanks I think you way is the easiest way to go.

 

lol yeah dude....what the heck are those things !!

 

I know what it is but I just dont know the name lol. I just wanna know what its called so I dont get embarrassed at home depot lol

 

I believe its called a belt-wrench and I honestly forgot where I bought it, but it was either at an auto parts or home improvement store. But yeah after trying a couple other methods I realized this tool was well worth the investment. It really grips the shifter ****; you just have to make sure you are putting enough back-torque on it otherwise I'm pretty sure the belt-wrench has the capability to F-up the linkage

 

I used a pipe wrench up top with a towel and vice grips on the shaft. It was on there pretty tight with my car but it comes off. Make sure not to twist the bottom and you'll be fine

 

Search man, it's easy. BTW one of the diy's had a pic of the vice grip the wrong way so I thought it unscrewed backwards. Reading that some had a tough time unloosing it I thought mine was really bad and ruined my oem ****. It's your usual "righty tighty lefty loosey"

 

Here are a few pics I just took sorry for the quality guys, as you can see I suck in taking pics oh and BTW I just used my hand and it worked to remove the ****
