Top Secret Shift **** Installed

I received yesterday my Top Secret shift **** and got it installed. Pics below

Thanks to Ken from Gillman Nissan Performance for shipping this out to me. Can't wait for my Top Secret lip kit to arrive next week. Pics of it installed will be up soon after.

OEM will be destroyed, You will need 2 vice grips and a piece of rubber tube to put under the shift boot on the actually shifter and just turn it counterclockwise.

You better believe I tore it up. Even with Ken's instructions over the phone, the oem **** is just too much Loctite on there. Even with a towel on the **** and vice grips on the bottom holding the shaft, the leather on the **** just started strippin away after every turn. Once the leather started strippin, both me and my cousin said "*** it" and without the towel we just ripped the turns and finally got the stinkin **** off...

I've had the car outside all day and I have no tints. I went to my car a couple of hours ago and the **** was just a little warm which is no biggie. Didn't bother me at all, especially after putting on the AC. And I live in Miami, so you know how hot is gets down here on a summer day...

Thats what ken said that the shift **** wouldn't get real hot. I guess I am going to have to destroy the stock one to get this one on. But thats ok also. Don't really care at this point.
