Does any one have experience installing the AE shift **** into a 2000 SE? I just want to make sure I dont tear up the original factory one for nothing or worse yet ruin the shifter, Is there a HOW TO on this somewhere? Any modifications either on the shifter or on the AE ****? Any help would be great!!

Auto or manual? Here are auto instructions, found in the FAQ section.

How to install an AE automatic shift **** on a 2000 model
Some modifications need to be done to the shift assembly (the part the shift **** attaches to) in order to get the AE shift **** to fit and work. Without the modifications to the shift assembly, the AE automatic shift **** will not work: the new shift **** is not plug-n-play on a 2000 model Maxima.

Once you modify the shift assembly, so that the AE **** will fit and work, your stock "T" shaped shift **** WILL NO LONGER WORK. This means once you switch you can not go back unless you purchase a new shift assembly. The shift assembly costs between $200~$300.

I took some notes as to what needs to happen to get the AE shift **** fitted and working on a 2000 model Maxima. I did not have a camera at the time I actually did the work, but I have summarized the key points on my website. The key points are the measurements and what needs to be modified. I took pics after I had everything done and some time later.

I do not include instructions on how to remove the center console, nor do I include instructions on how to disconnect the OD wires and reconnect the OD wires. You can PM me and I can assist with these two items.

Here are my notes:

Good luck!

If it's a manual you can use a strap wrench or a wrench and towel and just twist the **** off. You have to use some elbow grease because there it is glued on.

The easiest thing to do would be to purchase a complete AE shift console and install the whole thing as a unit. The shift console comes with the **** already attached. Otherwise, see the instructions as indicated by asu174.
