I am just loving the modularibility of this Nissan Xterra center console shifter combo

Gregski · 11-17-2025, 11:34 AM

bless this Nissan engineers for using screws and not those god forsaken plastic clips that get brittle over time and snap right off

VIDEO: GMCe DIY EV Shifter Swap Part III - Nissan Xterra

Gregski · 12-02-2025, 12:36 PM

well I think it turned out Good Enuff

CG · 12-02-2025, 01:53 PM

Looks good, nice job!

D.B · 12-02-2025, 03:25 PM

Looks great. Good pick of a shifter and making it work.

Gregski · 12-09-2025, 01:34 PM

Probably a BMW owner: "Hey Greg now that you completed Phase II of your EV conversion project are you just going to enjoy driving the hell out of it?"

Me: "Um, no! I own an operate a Chevy"

... any guesseses what this is or was ?

D.B · 12-09-2025, 04:47 PM

I would guess it's a ball joint boot. But with your truck it could be something else.

No it means I won't buy another old "classic" rust bucket but focus on something more modern to convert like a sexy 6th Gen Chevy Monte Carlo !

D.B · 12-13-2025, 12:10 PM

Gregski, what happened to the grease that should have been on the joint and boot. I did not see any.

Good question, must be in the wind because I specifically bought serviceable ie greasable ball joints with zerk fittings and I greased the snot out of them (I may have wiped the rubber boot for the photo shoot)
