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

[Gregski]

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

[Gregski]

meanwhile in the Kitchen Adjacent Stand Alone None Integrated Center Console Refurbishing Facility - KASANICCRF

[Gregski]

well this escalated quickly, I'm sure you've all been there

The Nissan Xterra shifter cable to Lexus GS450h gearbox adapter... for the Chevy GMC truck

Progress not perfection, hoping to finish editing the 3rd shifter video soon

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

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]

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 !

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)
