Hey guys- We finally ripped apart a 2K SE yesterday, & found out what the prob is with the AE shifter. Basically, "tab A" won't fit into "slot B". The shifter stem has a plastic plunger sticking out of it, (as per Paul2KGXE's pics) & this plunger won't fit all the way up into the AE ****. According to Nissan, all the part #'s are the same, so hence the mystery! To make the AE **** fit, you must remove the o/d switch very carefully with a small flat screwdriver, then you can clearance the hole where the plunger fits in. Then, the plunger itself has to be filed to fit up in the ****. I ordered in a whole AE shifter assembly, I'm going to dis-assemble it and hopefully post pics of how to do this! Anyway, I appreciate everyone's patience with this issue, South Point Nissan is definitely working to get it resolved!
Regards, David Burnette

Thanks for calling me today about this. Based upon our conversation, I'm confident I can make those minor modifications to install the shifter. Once it warms up a little, I'll reattempt the installation and take more photos.

E-mail me or post what Dave said. If it sounds easy, maybe I will try it. Just wondering what the process was.

Thanks.

Also, thanks Dave for doing that. It is rare that a company will go to such lengths to investigate problems by trying them themselves. I hope I speak for most when I say how appreciative we are at your high level of customer service!!

 

I really don't know any dealership that would go to the lengths to help out anyone like this... I talked to all the other places and Dave by far has to be the best customer service that I've come across. That means alot in who I give my money to!!!!!! Thanks for going the extra mile Dave.
