Hi guys

I got a short shifter for christmas but the bush it came with (small plastic piece on gearbox-end) is just shit.

I want to install the short shifter but i need a new bush for it. Nissan is closed until who knows when so i need to remove the bush off the original shifter.

Is there an easy way to do this? I tried to twist it off but it wont come off.

any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

You should be able to order a new bush from repco or burson etc.. for about $10.

To remove the bush from the end of the shifter all you need to do is, place the bush in or above a vice and with a punch or a screwdriver whack the bottom of the shifter through the small hole on the bush.

1. close vice slightly smaller than the width of the bush

2. place bush (upside down, gearknob facing down) on top of the semi-closed vice and let shifter hang freely

3. hit down on the bottom of the shifter through the hole on the bush with a punch, hammer etc.

To put bush onto new shifter, place bush on floor, bench.. place shifter on top and whack it down onto the bush with a hammer.

Hope that helps :banana:

A big thanks to all who have helped me with this.

I put the bush in boiling water and removed it from the original shifter. I then installed it on the short shifter.

Im off tomorrow to bunnings to get some longer screws for the shifter.

Thanks again guys!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
