Hey guys, I tried to rip out my auto shifter, but to no avail. I'm aware there's 2 screws in the front of the stick, but after the removal of these it seems to be locked in some way, and I don't want to screw up the thing by applying to much pressure. Anyone help?

yeah there's two circuit wires attached to the knob.

One I think's for the overdrive button I'm not sure what the other one is ...

anyway I haven't taken it off either cause I'm afraid the shifter might malfunction

anyone else can shed some light on this?

i've taken mine off my R32

when you unscrew it its held in by 2 wires. these are for hte overdrive

the overdrive system works that when the 2 wires are not commected, overdrive is ON. when the 2 wires are connected, the overdrive in OFF

so just cut the 2 wires and remove the knob :O easy as that

the hard pars it getting an aftermarket knob to fit properly. when you fit an aftermarket knob just connect the 2 wires you cut to a switch somewhere that you can use to activate the overdrive

That's a bucketload of help, cheers for that. Only problem is that how do you access these 2 wires? I can't even lift my shifter out of its original position, even after the screws are removed

HaHa so true about the aftermarket stick lucky me i found 1 the last 1 at cartoys port road fits snug i put in a new o/d switch in my ashtray works well and not out ove finger reaching distance.

P.S: just cut the wires and get a small round switch drill a hole in ashy and get 2 small spade connectors and there ur O/D switch i can show you how ive done mine if ur in Adelaide or ill tyr to get sme pics uploaded if i get a new camera soon?

just pull it up r u certain u got both screws if u can lift just enough till u see the wires then cut em then it should come straight off mine was easy az!

just take ur time and be patient good luck mate!

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
