How do you get the shift knob off of a 93 nx? it's got the sr20de engine....

i dont know how similar it is to a 04 altima, but mine had to be destroyed to be taken off. had to cut it off then use the biggest adjustable wrench i could find to get it unscrewed. after all that, i ended up taking a hack saw to it a week later to shorten it. save youreslf the trouble and just cut it off.

Don't know what that guy is talking about, but most of them just come of buy turning them counter clock-wise. Put a rag around it and get a big pair of pliars, and twist...hard.

x2, that's how I've taken shift knobs off pretty much every car I've done it to.

i guess times have changed b/c on other forums people with 2004's have the same problem. 3rd gen altimas shift knobs do not come off simply by twisting. the harder you twist, the more damage you do to the oem knob. so i cut mine off.

Yea the newest car I have removed one on is a 2000 sentra so you are more than likely rigt about the newer ones.
