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!

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
