Trust Shift **** Installed **Pics**
All I have to say is that the OEM **** was a b*tch to take off. 
I tried to salvage it by putting a rubber hose to clamp it. Managed to get 2 full turns in after 45 mins of struggling with it. It didn't get any easier loosening at all until the thing was ready to pop off. I ended up saying screw it cause my hands hurt so much that I clamped it directly to finish the job. As you can guess, my OEM **** is destroyed, but with what a PITA it was to unscrew, I don't even care. Much better gripping it directly, but still no easy task taking the damn thing off. They put way too much Loctite on the ****.
On a side note, the new Trust **** looks much better than stock IMO. Let me know what you think.

Wish you didn't have to rip up the stocker. Looks good. Not exactly my taste though. Nice!
Did it screw on or do you have to use a clamp/locking tool of some type? My momo one on my maxima always came loose over time.
This was always my favorite one from my Z days (Not my car, just like the shift **** setup).

Get a new **** and don't look back. It's really just a minor mod. Nothing to regret. Once you change it, you probably wont think much else about it until someone ask you about it.
