New stupid question!! HOw the Frick do you remove the shift knob on 370z?
 

as it states. mine feels like it friggin stuck and I don't wanna break it. need to remove it to do some custom interior work. HELP!! :ugh2:

you twist counter clock wise, be warned. theres lock tight up the a** :tiphat:

Strap wrench on the knob, use a rag for protection, vise grips to hold the shifter under the shifter boot.

Lots of info on the forum here for this situation, you might find some pictures when searching.

:iagree:

be very careful if you want the shift knob. Nissan put so much lock-tight, that you might destroy the knob.

Wow, really? Search feature

Nope. It's an old stupid question.

I tried search feature with "shift knob" hella posts. shoulda added removal

Just a tip. Google works better than the forums search feature. Google will usually point you to the correct thread here. :tup:

Oh, welcome to the forum. :tup:

NOPE vise grip will slip and cause scratches and miring.

The best method I came across was 2 strap wrenches. 1 on the knob 1 on the shaft. Home Depo is the place to go for the wrenches. 6$ husky strap wrenches and if you open the package correctly you can return them when you’re done. :tup:

double hand grip that beeotch and twist counter-clok like ur life depends on it... breaking looooose! Workd for me! :bowrofl:

PITA to swap out the oem knob. Too much loctite at the factory. Use a strapwrench and visegrip I taped the stem and then gripped it. Twenty minutes of muscle-ing took about 20 minutes to break the knob loose from it's thread. I started to sweat a little bit when I did mine. it was more frustrating rather than difficult.

So this was my day. Buy a GOOD strap wrench. Mine didn't grab so I had to vice grip it. :shakes head:

In other news the Nismo knob feels nice! :tup:
