Hey folks... 2005 G35 coupe AT. Like an idiot i wanted to get rid of some rattles so I went to take the shift console off and I ended up totally screwing it up. F'd up the brushed aluminum panel and I also shredded the collar inside that moves the orange gear indicator to drive, neutral, park, reverse. So the little orange indicator is stuck in drive now. I ended up smashing it so bad it was stuck in the assembly so i cut that collar out. Anyway... I'm in need of an entire new assembly. Not just the bezel. I'm looking for the entire thing so I can just throw mine away and put in the new one. Anyone have a lead on where I can get one that is in mint condition? That'll teach me to DIY

 

Ebay, or find someone in the classifieds here or on one of the G35 FB groups (ick) that is parting out a car (I'm assuming you don't want to purchase a pricey new one). Nothing wrong at all with attempting to DIY, just need to do some research first. ;-) I assume someone here has already showed you were the FSM can be downloaded from?

 

I would actually prefer to purchase a brand new one. Sure i'll get ripped off but do you have a lead on where to get it new? Thank you for your help

 

Sorry, I don't. Not surprisingly all of those parts are discontinued and the usual places to look don't have them in stock. Even the place in Japan that I've bought from before isn't showing one.
