Momo Auto Shift Knob Install

Momo Auto Shift **** Install
Recently I purchased a Momo Automatic Shift **** for my 2004.5 Coupe. I've spent a good hour on it so far and have pretty much lost my damn mind. I'm about convinced it cannot be installed on 2004.5 model years, but I wanted to get the advice of others who have installed it before I scrap the whole idea.
It seems at though the shaft of the coupe isn't long enough. For those that have removed the stock AT ****, I'm speaking of the thicker, colored portion. From there, a white plastic plunger (I'll call it a plunger for lack of another word, but its the portion that moves up and down when the button is pushed and disengages the locking mechanism) come up from the center and is top off by yet another blue plastic piece. At its normal, disengaged postion, the mounting screws for the Momo **** don't reach the larger portion, but instead the small blue piece on top. If you tighten the **** to this piece, the plunger cannot move up and down and thus the **** remains locked. On the contrary, if you pushed the **** down to the engaged postion and tighten it to the thicker portion, the shifter moves freely and will not lock in place, thus making it impossible to remove your the key from the ignition. ****** if you do, ****** if you don't. As I said I've spent a lot of time on that and have tried many things out without sucess. I don't know if the height of the shifter was changed for my model year (I know the **** was at least) but this thing just isn't working. Anybody out there have this installed and ran into similar problems? How about someone who knows if the shifter's height was indeed changed? Thanks!

Birdman,
Here's a link that should help out.

RisingSun is correct - take off the shifter blue clip, put on the sliver **** bottom piece on the shifter then put the Momo black rubber piece that best fits on the shifter (cut off the top of the piece so it fits over the shifter), place the black rubber piece on/inside the Momo ****, place the Momo **** on the shifter (not too far down or you won't be able to remove the ignition key), put the screws into the momo **** when in place (tighten but don't over tighten), tighten the silver bottom piece onto the Momo ****.
It worked on my G35C 2004.5 5AT. Good Luck!!!

1st, u take the square chrome piece off by force (may want to use screw driver and pry the inside tabs).
2nd, u have to unscrew the momo bottom (circular part) so that piece can come apart and there u will see the holes for the screws.

Hi everyone, I bought a used G35 auto, and it has a momo shifter. All of a sudden the top circular chrome piece (the button you push to shift) came loose. It's still attached to the shifter, but now it sits above it. So now I have to turn it just right, so that it will sit back into the shift **** and be pressed down to shift. I can't figure out how to secure it back down, could the **** itself be too low for some reason?
