Short shifter

^^ So far I have yet to hear anyone else that did NOT have any problems getting the knob off! I guess the guy who did mine was being lazy

I don't know what they used on that thing, but it is the most powerful thread locker I have ever encountered. It looked like some kind of grease, but grease would make it easier to get off

My knob came off really easy.. idk why... maybe someone had pulled it off before?

Anyway, I think that I'm going to go with the B&M. I've used them in other cars, as well as other Nissans and they work great. I'm fine with having to file something down, as long as the shifter will work for a long time. B&M has been making great shifters for a longggg time and that has to count for something.

+1 Mine came right off without any effort. I literally just twisted the OEM off and installed a Nismo knob.
