Shifter

[sin0186]

I'm trying to take my engine ka24 out of my 91 240sx and I'm having a trouble with the shifter, there are two rings that keeps me from pulling out the shifter. What do I do? Thanks in advance.

Hey! yeah i have an 89 240 and i had the motor rebuilt and those rings your talking about should be snap rings. Well they were snap rings on mine anyways. if you look at the ring(s) there should be a break or a gap in the ring and there should be 2 tiny holes at each end. you need a pair of snap ring pliers. and you squeeze those 2 ends together and pull the ring(s) out. take a picture if you can it'll be easier to determine haha. Good Luck!

If I'm going to use the SR transmission, do I even have to worry about this issue?

well if ur using the SR transmission then no you dont really need to worry about it. but in order to take the transmission out easier you should take the shifter out. unless you can drop the transmission straight out the bottom of the car. but whatever works lol
