Thanks that's no problem but I lucked out my neighbor actually is a service adviser at Nissan, and she was able to hook me up a bit, two techs will do the install together, and I will only be charge the exact amount of labor so if they get it done in 2 hours, then I get charged 2 hours.RobPaulson wrote:omfg i sympathize man, i truly do, I was so relieved when I was able to bend that cable back in place.
when it bent, I looked at it and thought 'maybe i can just have it replace, its a small part' but then i followed it past its initial visibility and thats when i realized it was directly connected to the shifter inside . . . i KNEW it would be HOURS of labor, the part couldnt be that expensive, but the idea of paying for the labor to replace this thing just depressed the heck outa me lol.
It's too bad it happened spock, but I'm glad you got things rolling now, no use crying over spilled milk, way to pick up the pieces and get-er-done as cheap as ya could!
I have only installed an intake and a front strut tower bar myself, I just don't think I had the experience as you. I bit off more than I could chew and that sucks but life goes on.mpbclutch33 wrote:Man you keep making me rethink doing it myself.

With all the pointers and tips provided, I am very hopefull.

huh, I musta got a bogus tube cause I hardly had enough to do a few threads period...LinkNuc wrote:How much locktite do you think you need, I had plenty left over...they sent along a little bottle probably 1/2 oz if that.....like neo lube a little dab will do ya.
Harder to shift, nah you must have did somethingto the cable, it is easier with a heavier knob, but even with the cheapo one it should be much easier to shift.
Yeah, me too.........GreyZone wrote:
