Thanks, Dave and Jeff. Yes I agree, the degree of difficulty with the knob removal that ALL of us have been seeing is due to the amount of Loctite that is used by the factory. Tell you what though, with that strap wrench, the amount of leverage I had was impressive. I mean, some folks use two people, one to hold the shifter shaft with pliers, and the other to turn the knob. I literally held each with one hand, and the stock knob turned immediately. And I'm not saying I'm Hulk Hogan either
I really think out of all the methods that were used, this is one of, if not, the easiest way to remove the shift knob, period.

Yes sir. I did. I didn't really hold both knobs side by side or hand in hand. Thinking back, I probably should have
But I can almost say that the stock knob is heavier by a tad, but the nismo knob is very solid-feeling. I like the joystick feel it gives me, with the option to an top grip also. When I get more miles on it, I can post a review.

I am sorry but I plan to keep the stock knob. Though I like the looks and "initial" feel of the nismo knob, I would like the option to switch back to it if it doesn't feel right or if I want a change.

WHAT? Do you mean to say you used your bare hands?!?!?! One of the shifter shaft beneath the console??? and one on the shift knob itself and just turned?????? If indeed you did, that is impressive.
Hulk Hogan IS in the house
