This is kinda sad, but I can't figure out how to remove the shift ****.... I got a new **** and leather boot the other day. Is there a pin holding the **** together or do I just twist it off? For the leather boot I presume I have to take apart the shift console? And what exactly is the boot holding onto?

Thanks guys

 

Twist off hella hard. Use Vices if you don't have enough oomph.

 

i want to change mine too...but my shift **** is weird...u gotta pull up on this little thing so that you can shift it into reverse. this seems to make changing the **** alot more complicated. not sure though.

 

listen to maxboost, you have to twist off hella hard, I have a 01 AE and i also changed my shift ****, i had to use vise grips to take it off, I tore the hell out of the stock shift ****.

 

Thanks for the info, looks much better now...

 

where do i get AE shift **** and boot???

 

if you guys are selling your old AE shift **** let me know via pm ive been lookin for one for quite some time... Let me know. Oh and to answer your question twist hard espeically if its the first time taking your **** off

 

This thread is pretty funny, i was just in the garage the other day trying to pull my stock "plastic looking" shift **** off my max. I bought a AE **** from Courtesy Nissan the other day for about $60. The garage door was closed and i started sweating my ***** off. I decided to just leave it till my B&M sts gets here.

<Glad i wasnt the only one having this problem>

 

glad you dont have to remove the **** to replace the boot on the 6-speed
