ok this is really ridiculous!
ready?

ok, well i feel like a re re, but help me out here..i can change a light bulb, i can change oil, i can dissasemble half the car on my own, but y cant i take off my shift ****??? lol..wtf??

i know its lefty loosey turn the friggin **** andit should come off..but whats the deal here??? im strong, i can benh 300lbs at the gym, but y cant this **** come the eff off?? lol...

i read somewhere that they used a oil filter belt wrench...is thispossible? can n e 1 confirm this??? im thinking mine is cross threaded and is being a biatch 2 come off...or some jack @$$ at Nissan decided 2 use extra loctite on my ****..lol...whats goin on???

 

o yea i 4got 2 add, i been having a black leather Nismo **** and want to see if it would look and feel proper...

 

I hear ya man - I ripped up mine trying to take it of with pliers - it's freaking insane! It's still not off yet, so I'm getting a channel lock to get more grip on it.

 

I have not tried on this car yet. My 35 was a biotch and I destroyed it removing it. Used a rubber belt and vice grips.

 

haha omg this is why i dont evne wanna bother taking it off!

 

lol..ok good as long as im not the only one...an di dont want 2 destroy my ****...

they are putting a new tranny in right now, so hopefully they had 2 take the **** off, im hoping for it 2 be nice n easy when i get it back! lmao...

 

ur getting a new tranny?
wut happened?

 

I tried to get the stock **** off also. PITA. Still can't get mine off. Have to try again thou. We'll see.

 

Yea I took mine off, you need 2 vicegrips and some rubber tube. Put tube on the **** and the metal shifter underneath the boot and have someone hold the grip on the shifter and turn the grip on the ****. You won't feel it move much early and you'll be sweating by the time your done.

 

Its pretty crazy. My hands hurt a good few days after I was done. Its a 2 man job for sure. You need one person gripping and one person turning as hard as they can. It doesn't get easier either...its difficult all the way till it pops off.

 

so what your saying is, pop off the collar around the boot, put the vice grip on the shifter itself with a rubber piece so it wont spin obviousl right? then take the other vice grip and put it on the **** and twist it off??? did you put a towel or something so you did not damage the ****????

 

umm the throwout bearring issue, well mine was so bad, my tranny was whining, and when a throwout bearring gets so crappy after a while it makes the gears and everything go 2 crap on the tranny...so they are replacing the tranny...PERFECT!!! lol

 

why not just have them put the new one on? or tell them not to put the **** on and let you put the one you have on

 

thought bout a long time ago, but heres the thing, i dont want them 2 say ohh this will void ur tranny warranty...id rather leave it off n throw it away..lol

 

lol don't throw it away give it to me
