HELP ON CHANGING THE SHIFT KNOB!!

Post by **donjuanmon** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 6:54 pm

Hey guys, I just got a I35 and am trying to take off that stock shift knob to replace with a super cool aftermarket. Please tell me how you guys take that sucker off, because I'm finding it extremely difficult. It appears that it must be pulled off. Please let me know asap, i want to install that new one on tommorrow. All good responses appreciated!

hey ministeroofDOOM, you say it unscrews. where are the screws? mine is on the damn tight also. i have a 2001 AE, if that makes a difference.

The stickshift itself is the screw, and the knob is threaded onto it...think of it as if the shift knob were a nut, and the stickshift shaft were a bolt.

A helpful tip is: wrap a towel around the shift knob(if you don't want to damage the factory knob) and us a pair of channel-lock pliers to break the factory glue seal, and remove the shift knob.

ohh, that's what your talking about, I knew that the knob was the screw. my bad. i'll have to try the towel wrap and channel lock things. thanks guys
