Hey guys, my shift **** is a bit loose.. how can i tighten it? service manual only shows a locking pin?! should i just get a new lock pin?

this is an 07 Max, CVT

 

What's a shift know...?

 

I dont know why i wrote that.. "w" isnt even near "b"

 

What's funny is that you did it in the subject line as well...

Wish I could help, I've never had the noob off...

 

This is the way to remove the shift know. You can check the pin if its seated properly or if it its stretched out. When removing the aluminum cone, make sure you are turning it and pulling it down at the same time for removal. If you need an aftermarket know, I have a MoMo shift know that I'm selling

 

my **** was loose also i had the dealer check it out and they replaced it with a new one, it was covered by the factory warranty

 

aftermarket son

 

Never had the what?

 

noob, as in **** i assume


So I took it apart. the bottom chrome piece has a broken tab inside, so its not on completely on the ****, so its loose a bit.. other than that, the **** itself, when pressed firmly on the arm, its solid, but i can't get the pin on b/c the little slots where the pins locks into isnt visible.. I have to raise the **** a bit to be able to click the pin in-place.. therefore, its loose.. so im thinking of packing something inside the **** so it sits firmly on the arm..

 

I'm not jewish...

 

My **** has been loose since we purchased the vehicle... not a huge annoyance but I don't like when stuff is loose or creaky =\

 

this seems to maybe be fairly common. I just bought my maxima with 55K miles on it, and the **** is really loose on it. they are going to replace it though.
