IIRC it's the same as the 6 speed rod, meaning, you can just unthread the stock one and in theory, thread the 6 speed **** on. This means you can purchase any shift **** you want that is the proper thread pitch

Automatic Shift ****? That's almost an oxymoron.

You're going to want one that weighted properly for those quick shifts from Park to Drive.

I have a nismo carbon fiber one on my z, but I think it would look like crap on my maxima, its far too long, it's pretty bad as it sits, with the nismo it will look like a flag pole or something

Thinking of taking mine apart and adding some solder for added weight. Once I get a new replacement I'll try it.

2002AT "Selector" in 2001AT?

I've posted this question before in other threads and gotten no reply. So please don't consider this a cross post. Will the 5.5gen "gated" style AT selector work in a 5.0gen which has a "straight line" style AT selector. I.E will it operate the tranny properly and fit in the console without major re-construction. Yeah I know, it sounds like "what's the point" but I like the "sport" look of the 5.5gen AT selector much better than my "pathetic" looking 2001-5.0gen AT selector that <IMHO> looks like it belongs in a Taurus.

Yes the stock AT shifter in the regular 2000/2001 is terrible. The AE edition isn't bad.

In either case, it would require fairly extensive modification, they are a completely different design top to bottom. In short, no, you can't do it unless you want to get really involved.

That's too bad, by looking I hoped it'd be a fairly easy swap. What's the AE AT selector like, any pictures?

I have a Blox limited edition 490 spherical shift **** in neo-chrome finish. It's stainless steel, weighs 490 grams, just a little over one pound. Shifts great! And, it's the Nissan thread pitch of 10x1.25 mm, so it's a solid direct fit. www.bloxracing.com has really good pics of it.

Does anyone know if it is common for the AE 5mt **** to loose its silver plate all together? I bought a 20th about a month ago and apparently the previous owner somehow broke/pealed the whole silver plate off. It is entirely gone, there is just an indention in the top of the **** now where it was. I don't mean that the coloring was getting worn off, but the entire thing is gone. I want to get another AE **** but not if it will just loose the plate again. Thanks guys, First post FTW.

I compared the info. found in the 01 & 02 FSM and it looks like it would mount in the console OK aesthetically. But it seems the MAJOR technical stumbling block is the 01 uses a cable operated key interlock vs a solenoid interlock on the 02.

ANY Nissan techs out there to confirm/deny this?

There was someone a while back with a 00-01 maxima that swapped in a 02-03 auto in which allowed him to use the 02-03 gated shifter.

I'm not sure (I doubt actually) that it can be done without swapping the tranny. But I dont know enough about autos to be too sure. AT > MT swap FTMFW.

Do you mean a means of lowering the actual ****/shifter or doing a Short Shift Kit? If thats the case do the Free STS mod. I love it.

Let me know when you figure it out. Although with the seating position in the Maxima I think lower would be uncomfortable. I loved having the shifter and **** nice and low in my Zenki.

There's some discussion on shift ***** over on myG37.com of late... just like there's discussion on shift ***** in every single car forum ever. It made me think about my old Maxima shift ****, and when I searched google images, low and behold, there it was... bringing me right back here to this old thread and a bunch of my old comments.

Good times.

Anyway, FWIW, I recommend looking through www.LatheWerks.com for shift *****. I got one from LatheWerks last year for my G, in solid titanium. Love it.
