Is it possible for someone with mostly no knowledge in mechanics or experience in stuff like this to be able to install a different shift **** on a 2k Max w/o professional assistance?

And if I do need assistance, would a dealer mechanic be able to do it, and for what kind of labor cost?

 

Shift **** is crazy easy, i can hardly tie my shoes and i did mine.

 

heh if u can change a light bulb u u can change the shif ****

it just unscrews, and then u screw on the new one. if the **** was never removed before it might be kinda hard to unscrew, but if u put some force on it, it will move

 

Is there any difference between the 2k and the 2k2? You have manual right?

 

all shift ***** for all cars are the same

 

I didn't know considering they change from 5-spd to 6 and wasn't sure if the installation was the same. Gimme a break buddy, I just go the car on Tuesday.

 

Don't worry, i think all teh gravy angried up the blood. But it's really no sweat at all. 5 min max

 

Thanks man, I was thinking of getting the AE ****. Good choice or any other suggestions?

 

Get whatever you like, and don't let anybody tell you its stupid. I got the Nismo Titanium on mine, woo woo

 

hey sorry man, didnt mean to sound grudgy or anything, was just trying to say it in the simplest way. my bad

o and on the choice for the shift ****, look into MOMO, those bad boys are expensive but they look so good.

good luck

oo i always wanted to see one o those, any chance u can take a pic?

 

anybody want to send me their AE shift **** if they're getting new one? I'll be happy to take it.

 

Hey buddy! You trying to steal my thread?!

No problem IgS.

 

werd, i wanted to get that one as well....chose to pay off debt instead. hook us up a with a pic please.

 

i have a 2k 5spd gxe, and the shift **** would not even budge. I put sooo much torque trying to unscrew it but never was able to.

 

yea those b@astards are hard to take off, what i did is i used my keychain thingy, its made out of tough cloth, o i wrapped it around the **** and turned like there was no tommorow, but to my stupidity i was actually tightening it........and i was actually able to move it for 1/2 turn more after that i realized that i was tightening it. i was surprised how strong i was

er or u can try and do what my friend did, and use a saw to cut a side of that shift **** off and then it just kinda falls off.....

 

They tend to be tight. A strap wrench works well to remove. Also, you might want to slide the boot down and grab the shaft with some vice grips to counter the torque applide with the strap wrench.

sorry about the delay, also a bit blurred. Yeah pricey, but I got a promotion at work and decided to treat myself to some bling.

 

you know what look good with that.
my custom leather shiftboot. just look at the skin texture.

these will start going on sale pretty soon. waiting for the matching ebrake boot to come from overseas.

 

That would be nice, let me know about the e-brake boot

 

nismo /ae ***** are kool......... In my past experience w/ aftermarket brand shifter ***** that
dont screw in OEM Style is that they loosen up easy
and dont tighten still after a while....

 

nice boot, you know if there any shift ***** out for a 02-03 out yet?

 

the nismo has a seperate jacket to tighten into the shifter, and the the **** uses an allen nut to tighten it down. Its snug as a bug. My OEM was notoriously loose.

 

I don't like it, it looks cheap and fugly. Stick with the factory 6sp shifter!

 

you shall not tell me what to do with my car.
