Does anyone know how to remove the shift **** from an 08 6MT? I do not want to damage it. I might want to change it down the road. (pictures?) Any ideas on a replacement as well.

Thanks!

 

I have seen a few posts around for it, i was planning on doing it as well, but once i saw the OEM ***** being destructed during the removal even from a dealer i changed my mind, the tricky part is that the **** is on there pretty tight and you need a vice and pliers to get it off(hold the shifting rod with the pliers TIGHTLY and use pliers with a cloth to turn the shift **** anti-clockwise), but requires a lot of force, some ppl in the previous gen. even turned the shift rods causing a few problems, while others have done it succesfully with no problems.
Just giving you a heads up, if you do it, thne do post pics
GOODLUCK!

 

Sounds like a headache. On second thought, the stock one isnt so bad.

Thanks!

 

Going with one of these?

 

umm yea, you have to hold the bottom part the shift stick i dont know what its called but the pole that is the actual shifting mecanism, you have to hold that really really really really really really hard with a vice grip and deebo from friday, while someone like the HULK twists the shift **** clockwise.... believe me i had the people call infiniti and ask them how to do it, it was incredibly hard for a 250 lb guy to take it off, i wouldnt recommend doing it yourself... they use the same glue NASA does...

 

im sorry i guess it was anti-clockwise... but ummm... i can't remember now actually

 

The dealer did it for me and had to replace the entire shift-linkage, leather boot, and surrounding plate ($300.00 +) at their expense. They told me "ehhh no problem should take us a few minutes..." Righhhttt
Like MiamispeedinG35 stated Infiniti uses the same Glue NASA does...

 

Hopefully, it's not the glue they use to keep those ceramic tiles on with... those damn things keep falling off!

 

i did mine and i tried using grip wrench but didnt work so i just used regualr wrench and it worked!! in the end my stock shift **** is in the garbage can but it was worth it... stock one is too big IMO, im using ARC and it feels really great but kinda too small...

 

yea i feel bad becuz i put a cheesy street glow one on it, i just bought a nismo one today but still haven't installed... NISMO!

 

hey bro, can you post a pic of the arc installed?

thanks
