GT-R shift knob on 7AT +pics

Jordo!

I just did this -- looks just like the pic above with the boot.

A few thoughts:

1. Cosmetically speaking it looks vastly better than OEM.

2. As the other poster above noted, you do NOT need the little metal clip to hold the shift knob in place (for the really brave, you could probably cut the white inner piece with a bolt cutter and have the GT-R knob sit fairly flush without a boot -- good luck...). Seems to sit snugly without it. I think the clip is just there to prevent it from being pulled straight up off the shift arm.

3. If you just slap down the GT-R knob, as is, there is a clip inside! It will clamp on to the shifter arm and not lift up.

You have to use a small flat head screwdriver to gently pry the lower silver bezel away from the knob and then remove a metal clip as you did on the OEM knob (I figured this out the hard way -- after a few seconds of frantically pulling, realizing the knob was fixed in place AND would not sit low enough to engage the shift release! D'OH!)

4. The silver bezel around the whole shifter assembly takes a little prying to come up, but then doesn't seem to want to go back perfectly and sit snugly... after gently tamping it down, and making sure all the spring clips were in place, I think I got it, but I'm not convinced my knee won't dislodge it later... it simply may not sit snugly without some double sided tape or something after cramming the edges of a shift boot under there.

I can take pics if anyone wants, but it looks IDENTICAL to the set up posted above -- OEM MT 370Z boot, GT-R shift knob.

I'll let everyone know if I find it to be annoying when driving later, but so far so good.
