so ive needed a new shift **** for my 04 SE. i found one on a classified forum, sent the money but never received the **** (seller claims to not be able to 'find' it, then was struck with a computer virus) yeah- ok. after a few days, i finally got a refund but i still needed a ****.

i posted here and someone recommended "DaveB" who i emailed with no response.

so today, i stopped by a local autozone just to see what they had that i could install in the meantime. surprisingly, i found a **** that was $16 that actually looks decent. it was the least 'ricer' i could find.

ill post a pic in a few minutes... but i still want a replacement tan leather **** damnit!

 

 

Not realy feeling the ****.

 

yeah, no shlt- but i needed something to put on until i get a new, stock ****.

 

Get one of those beer tap shift *****!!!

 

That thing is so tall you could shift from the back seat!!!

 

Cut around 2.75" inches off the stalk and you'll love it...

Mine broke years ago (collar) so I cut the stalk down, cut the white plastic end off the ****, wallered out the hole some and used a few small pieces of metal tape on the shaft. (Prevents spinning) You then pound the shift **** on and go. Here's a bad pic but you get the idea.

 

like i said, its a temporary piece. yes, it is tall- but itll do for now.

KC- that looks really good- but im leery of cutting the shaft

 

I did what KC did (cut down) but got a MOMO shift **** that matches the blk seats....

 

im not too keen on the idea of trimming the stalk.....

looks great, but i dont want to chop it

 

 

after a little mod/adjustment and trimming (no, i didnt cut the shaft)

 

The chop is easy and makes it look and feel so much better!!! Have no fear...

 

any one do this to a manual shift ****??

 

Does anyone know what measurements i need if i were in the market for a new ****?

 

way back in the day, i installed a shift boot in one of my mustangs (it was an automatic) it looked great... wonder if i can figure a way to get a boot on the Maxima's shifter

 

lmaoo.. agreed!
