AT Knob Removal - Help.
 
Does anyone know how to remove the AT selector shift knob? I fancy one of those RSW carbon covers for the bottom gate panel but would imagine that the knob needs removing to fit it?

I downloaded a PDF workshop manual for the 370z but can't seem to find anywhere that details how to remove the selector knob.

Thanks

i think it does in Canada as an option, but isn't the OP from New jersey in the US?

chippy 10-30-2010 09:54 AM

No Jersey, channel Islands - UK :tiphat:

would love to see how it is done lol

I changed mine months ago but if I remember correctly-
Pull down the lower gray part of the knob, It will disconnect, then pull out the U shaped pin that it covers. Done.

Kinda believe you need the button in the knob to shift correct.. So pretty much, aren't we stuck with the one we get from the factory?

Imtired 11-01-2010 02:55 PM

I switched mine with this one (not from here but the same exact one). It works fine.

chippy 11-01-2010 03:37 PM

Thanks alot. Is it the very bottom bit of the knob - the metallic bit?

I fancy one of these (although the knob looks interesting too!!) which seems to need the knob removed.

Yeah the silver part slides down, you have to wiggle and force it a bit.

chippy 11-01-2010 03:54 PM

Great thanks!!!!! :tup:

i had this shifter on my AT 350z the shifter knob moved up and down in place of the button on knob. It looked cool but it was held on by a set screw that would work lose every couple of months.

This looks very cool, how did the install go not bad. So you just push the button on the top and put it in gear ?

I'm also interested in more information. Do you have any installed pics?

:iagree: yes yes more info...

Imtired 11-02-2010 07:45 AM

The knob works fine because the mechanism to push in is actually on the top of the metal stalk, even though the OEM button is on the front.

I'll post some pics later, unfortunately my dog got sprayed by a skunk this morning so I'm a bit busy...

flashburn 11-02-2010 07:48 AM

Doh, sorry for your dog!

Can't wait to see installed pics. I think you should start a new thread about it when you do, since a lot of us 7AT guys have been interested in a replacement knob.

O and did it come with instructions "In English" :tup:

Imtired 11-05-2010 07:01 PM

Sorry guys, it's been a busy week, and I have military obligations this weekend. I can probably write up a quick DIY on Monday

flashburn 11-05-2010 07:09 PM

No problem, it's much appreciated.

KaienZ34 11-05-2010 07:39 PM

I wonder if we could get EVO-R to tackle this for LHD Z's?
