Has anyone done this?...
I just had the idea today to cut the CL shifter down a bit and put a new TL knob on it, shorten it down a bit as it's so dern tall, has anyone tried this
Yes, it's automatic

It'll fit if it's the same diameter. I wouldn't suggest cutting the rod, you'll lose the threads, and thus, no shifter will fit. The stock shift knob is easily removed, just be careful with the spring inside.

you can cut the shifter down and rethread it and I believe people used to cut the bottom part to retain the threads. Oh i have a 2nd Gen TL knob really cheap since the threads are stripped but if you cut the threads off it doesnt matter haha

You can bypass it if you modify the spring to be compressed 100% of the time, however, I'd hate to see what happens when you bump the shifter going 65 and go from D4 to R.

Edit: Park on the other hand... I know if you are driving reasonably slow and hit it into park it will make a god awful gear hopping noise. Friend of mine used to do that in the G loaner infiniti would give him since he hated auto... It would CLACK CLACK CLACK until it stopped.
