frustrated with all dealers to replace worn shift **** and now I tried removing the shift **** myself today it is very easy. Please let me know any online dealers who sells OEM shift **** for little cheaper price.

My dealer gave me discounted price including the installation $260. I dont want to spend that much money and it is very easy to install myself so want to save some money.

 

The **** itself shouldn't be more than about $125 and installation is literally a 20 second job... if that.
There isn't even any tools required. Thieving bas!ards! I hate dealers. LOL

Rick @ Riverside Infiniti should be able to hook you up with a decent price. That's where most guys get the M45 ****.
I swapped mine out and I love the look of the full leather ****, and there is no worry of scratching it anymore.

 

^ that looks really nice, should have come that way form the factory to avoid scratches. It would look even better if you got a new shift boot with white stiching to match.

Surprisingly though my MT **** is scratch free, and it doesnt seem as if it would scratch easily anytime soon, so im guessing the AT and MT ***** use different material.

As for the OP i suggest you also get the M45 ****(from rick@riverside on this site) if you are willing to spend the $100 odd anyways, it looks much better and will last you much longer, there is DIY in the tech section on how to trim the post and install for a lower, more OEM look like Aeson.

 

I'm having a flat black leather boot made with white zig zag stitching to match the **** as we speak.
Full coverage too... getting rid of the aluminum trim on the bottom.
Should look more like an MT than an Auto when it's done.

The ***** can be found here... sold out of Riverside Infiniti

Aeson is right " thieving bastards".
I would post in the marketplace section (WTB) on Driver as well. Someone may have one for sale. Some guys put in the M45 ****, Momo and Nismo **** too.

 

That does look nice. I may just have to pick one of those up. Does the old one just unscrew?

I like the Rosewood. I was for it but wife wanted the aluminum when I ordered the car.

 

^ On the Auto, grab the metal ring (below the ****) and push it down. There is a small metal spring clip. Pull it of and slide the **** up and off. It literally takes 10 seconds and no tools. Some needle nose pliers for the clip, do make it easier though. So you don't drop it.

 

There is a small spring clip that holds the **** on be engaging with two small slots on the shift stem.
The M45 **** needs a higher set of slots, so I used a steak knife to make the spot and then used the file on my leatherman to make the new grooves.

 

Thank you for the DIY but I dont want to cut the **** rod but helpful information before I buy. I will go with 07 G35 ****.

 

No cutting is required at all, unless you decide to lower the overall height of the know, which some have chosen to do.
I cut nothing when I installed mine.

 

i wanna put an 07 **** i bought on my 03 AT any way you can help i can get the **** on but can't make the button function

 

I like the M45 **** but the fact that it requires cutting and modifying rather than slipping in is making me scared to install it. I remember seeing a diy in the past.

 

you're not really cutting anything completely off. you just have to make a couple of notches. Cutting is optional if you want to lower the ****. I didn't cut mines. Took me about 10 minutes to do.

 

Where and how do i make the notches?
