Yeah, it's just me thinking lazy. Precursor to being lazy.

Agreed, but that's what beer and boys are for. :icon17:

Edit: Oh and HI fellow Austinite!

hello :hello: and yes the AT shift knob is quite easy to swap out actually, you might look into the killjuelz knob that one of the members offers over on my350z and g35driver, thats where i had my old one from my g35 and it looked perfect, just got to pop the shift knob off real quick and slide the new one in place. takes all of 2 minutes to do

Nah it's a snap. You use a towel around the shift lever and a pipe wrench to hold it in place (to keep it from torquing - THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT), then use a 2nd pipe wrench on the knob itself to tear the goddamn thing off.

Once you have it off, use a wire brush to remove the excess loctite from the screw threads and then tighten down your new knob.

Important to note that your OEM shift knob will not survive this ordeal. Mine literally ripped in half all the way down to the threading.

Last night I swapped my clutch pedal assembly with a new one from RJM Performance and ran the cables for all of the new sending units into the cockpit.

I am very interested to know your thoughts when the car is put back together. Looks like a great mod and pretty inexpensive imo if you do the work yourself :tup:

Just the opposite for me. Getting the knob off is what girls are for. :icon17:

It was pretty easy to install. But I took advantage of having the dash out. I wouldn't want to do it with the dash in.
