Install Shift Knob

Straight6z · 11-17-2009, 11:43 PM

I've got the RAZO Super Lo knob, it weighs 450g and is offset to the rear a little. I love it, fits perfectly and looks good too. I'll take a couple pics tomorrow if anybody's interested

I love it, it was real easy to install on the Z, my Spec V required some cutting but it just went right on, I threadlocked it and it doesn't budge during hard shifting

Looks good!

Your interior is much cleaner than mine, lol

Haha, thanks man. I hope it does, I just picked the car up tonight

Do you have the BM short shifter as well, or is that stock height with the new knob?

from what I have heard, removing the original shift knob usually means it's going to be destroyed, because of the locktite used to install them from the factory..

I'd be curious if anyone has located a shift knob that would compliment the red stitching of the Nismo interior. I like the stock one, but I would have loved to see Nismo showcase that red a little more on the shifter.

People that destroyed the stock knob didnt remove it carefully, if you use a piece of radiator hose on the leather part and a pair of channel locks, it twists right off with some elbow grease.

My stock knob was fine. I just wrapped a towel around the knob and used a vice to keep it in place while using a screwdriver through the end/bottom of the shifter as leverage.

Here's a link to my DIY for the AMS short shifter kit install:

Do any of you guys know anything about a shift knob replacement for the 7AT? I feel kinda left out.

It can be very difficult, I have not sat in the 7AT since my test drive (6 months ago), but does it have a button on it to "release" it and move through the different options?

If so it can be hard to find a replacement as you have to have one that has that release button and such, usually.
