2006+ SENTRA MANUAL TRANSMISSION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 

1. Pull gently on the dash around the shifter and it will come loose. There are four clips holding the dash piece down. Unplug the wires to the hazard button and unscrew shift knob and lift the boot and dash over the shifter.

2. The boot is held in place by a metal ring inside the boot. just pop it out from the clips holding it in place. You will need to remove the ring to insert it into the new boot. This can be done without ruining the stock boot to keep it as a spare. The ring in the boot comes apart on one of the longer left or right sides. Feel for the metal connector holding the ring together. Cut the stock boot where you find the connector. You may need a pair of pliers to get the connector loose so that the ring opens. Pull the ring out of the hole you created and insert it into the new boot.

3. The center console assemply has to come out to install the Ebrake boot. there are 4 bolts to remove and a 2 wires to unplug from the electronics inside of the center console. Use a small flat head screwdriver to remove the cover for the front bolts.

4. The other 2 bolts are inside the center console, open the arm rest and use your flathead to remove the bottem of the compartment as you did the fron and remove these bolts.

 

The wires are accessed from the back of the console down on the floor.Just lift until you can see them. In the Spec V Sentra I had 2 wires to disconnect. Take out the assemply and flip it over. You will want to remove the rubber that was stock attached to fit the new boot. There are a few screws to remove here and the cupholders will be removed as well. I folded in the end of the boot and used a ziptie to secure the boot to the top end of the Ebrake lever. You will have to put a few holes in the boot for screws to go through. It was a pain to get the cupholders back inplace as they also help hold the boot on. If not done well, you will be able to see the boot through the cupholder. The boot gets help in place by a metal strip that you removed to get that rubber fitting out of the way.

Reinstall everything in the reverse order of removal.

 

5. To remove the lid there are four screws.

6. With this off you can slip the leather cover over it and glue it down to the rubber cover already on yours. There was no modification required here. Just make sure everything stays tucked and glued. With the console closed put the newly covered lid over it and press down to make sure it all goes on properly. Mine was a nice tight fit. Then open it up and hold pressure on the back to put the screws back on the inside of the lid.

7. All 4 door armrest use the same steps. I used a hot glue gun to hold all of the leather armrest covers in place.

 

Removal is easy just lift on the back of the armrest.

8. Just keep lifting here and all the clips holding it down should come free.

9. I did a little modifying to the covers sent and to my stock pieces to ensure a nice fit. Some of the leather covers had to be cut to allow some of the clips to go back into piece. The blue I cut all of the rubber hear from the edges . The black circles are where you will have to cut the covers to allow the clips to go back into place.

 

Glue the armrest on. You can use contact cement, a spray-on glue that will give you a while to do the final adjustments before it settles fully is recommended.

 

On the reattachment for the door armrests the front lip goes on first then just press down starting at the front and work your way back. The rest should just snap back down.

Useful tip

You have installed a product made out of genuine leather. As you know, to maintain a leather product in good condition, you should take care of it. We suggest occasionally (every 4-6 week for example) applying some leather conditioner/UV protector to keep your leather from drying up in the sun and cracking.
