I'm just worried about them getting down in the tranny, or in the shifter area and messing up something. I don't have a Compressor lol and my hand vac won't have enough focused power to get it all out... oh well lol

Don't over analyze it just trim the shifter base & the black bottom piece on the 6sp part and assemble and enjoy.:tup:

It will all be good!!!

Look at this piece closely and you will see where I cut it,but since every thing is black you have to look at the pic for awhile.

Yup, I have the bottom piece trimmed the same way, it's not the bottom piece thats hitting, it's the upper piece thats hitting that white shifter box. =/

You have to trim the upper piece a little in the same spot you trimmed the lower black piece (the circular part)but don't worry about the boot being unsupported when it is installed it is up against the shifter housing you have been cutting on.

Plus you have to trim around the black square where the hazard switch goes.

Baer, where did you order your shift knob?

Yeah, I'm trying to keep both of those in tact since the other hazard button is going to be used for something else down the road when I want something added I can turn on/off.

The black square is intact you just trim around the outside of it,as far as the upper leather piece put the black piece in the install the upper leather piece without the boot installed and you will see where the interference is (the circular part)

I was wondering if knobs like this would work... How will it fasten to the shifter? Hex bolts?

:inoutroflpuke:

It is really simple disassemble the new boot (3 pieces black plastic lower piece,the boot,upper leather piece),check and trim for the lower black piece to fit first,once it fits leave it installed then install upper leather piece trim and fit as necessary when this piece fits like normal then reassemble all 3 pieces and it should fit.

You are almost there just get your dremel to clean up some small spots and you are there.

The hardest area to fit is the left switch are around the white box area.

Leave it be for tonight and you will come back to it tomorrow and you will see what the problem is,some times you have to walk away to see what has to be done.

well, the thing is that if you do it wrong, the shift knob could just slide off.

Baer383 11-03-2011 08:10 AM

I don't get the knob till tomorrow I will post asap.

Baer383 11-04-2011 04:47 PM

Shift knob is on and works & looks like a 6sp will posts pics and any info you need:tup:

Baer383 11-04-2011 05:49 PM

OK here it is I didn't take any pics during install b/c it is pretty straight forward the only modifications I did to the knob was open up the hole in the collar so it would slide on easier and then polish the outside of the collar so the shift knob would go up and down smooth the only time consuming part was to set the collar height so when the knob is at rest,it just rest on the white rod so the shifter isn't to high.
Here is a link on where I got it,

XwChriswX 11-10-2011 05:01 AM

:facepalm: I keep forgetting to take pics of the interior since I've had it finished. :rofl2: I'll try to remember tomorrow and post some up. :tup:


Only thing I need to do now is get the Silver ring CF'd by CFE and pick up a Murano hazard flasher button. (They're black... :rofl2: )

I'd love to do this, but I'm trying to eliminate as much silver in the interior as possible. I don't see a CF version of the knob. Am I missing something here?
