Popular Post Rizwanm2 Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 today there was situation in the middle of the desert, Where i could not shift in to a gear. the gear lever was free flowing up and down, where i felt there is no connection between gear lever and gearbox. car was in same gear and it not shift into any other gear(in my case it was neutral) . Apparently this is a common issue in many Nissan vehicles such as Xterra, Pathfinder, Titan, Frontier, Etc. the cause of the problem was part called Gear Shift Cable Grommet part number "NI1KIT" below video is self explanatory to do the complete DIY repair. However if you are in middle of no where and needed quick fix to get out of a situation, you can follow below steps. 1. Gently grab center console cup holder and pull it out. 2. Grab the bottom of the plastic cover surrounding the gear lever and gently pull up and remove it. 3. Remove the below highlighted pin/lock holding the gear shifting cable in place. 3. after pin/lock is removed grab the cable and push it inside until the front side of the cable come out of the gear shift lever mechanism. 4. Grab the cable cover with one hand and hold it tightly, now grab the steel cable with the other hand and push or pull the cable slowly until you get in to the desired gear. you can see the gear position in your dash. 5. once you engage the desired gear you can leave the cable and move the car safely. Disclaimer. please use above steps cautiously at your own risk. 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abdul Basit Khan Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 @Gaurav Bhai, Thanks for sharing the video, well actually i’m the one who fave this issue today. and with the help of Gaurav Bhai and Nasser it got fix temporarily. but i just can’t wait to suffer, just after the drive i straight went to my mechanic and luckily he is fixing the same issue with X Terra 2012 when i reached, he just smile and said “relax have a tea, I will fix it for you Basit”. The part is like a small ring molted metal ring inner side and outer it’s a hard rubber with a safety lock. it cost me 120 AED only with permanent solution. I’m finally Happy. 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashid Hussaim Posted May 27, 2023 Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 I had same issue with my 2015 Xterra last night. After watching this video I was so confident I had to teach the mechanic how to fix it. The mechanics got surprised and had no way to play around. Very helpful video topic. Appreciate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
