Title: How Easy
Post by PJDavis on Feb 13^th, 2011, 10:03pm

Is it to replace an Automatic Gear Shift? I only ask because I might have a chance at a wood-trim one.

Then all I've got to do is find a wood-trim steering wheel, and my Ultima is 'Pimped' :D

There is an allen screw in the drivers side of the lever,loosen it a few turns and pull it up,be careful of the two little wires to the O/D switch.You can get to the bottom of them by prising off the 'wood' surround,then prise off the black bit with the positions on it.
GOZZ.

What about a WOOD look radio? You will need that to finish the "PIMPED" effect.

Hokey-Cokey Gozz. Is there a 'nice' way to get that wood trim surrounding the gear stick off without damage?

;) @ Dave. Aye, wood radio. My old Zodiac has a wood-trim radio!!!

The trim just prises up. Use a thin blade and gently lever it upwards BUT do so in an even manner all the way round. The wooden trim has, I think four, plastic pegs on the underside which locate in sockets in the trim surround. Try and lift the trim evenly to avoid stressing the pegs. If I were you I'd warm the trim slightly in order to make it a little more 'pliable'. This page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/autotrans/GearSelector.pdf) may help. ;)

I fitted a leather one from a mondeo ghia x, look better then the wood ones imo, it was just a case if trimming the end of the handle and joining the od wires

This one is from a Ghia X Mondeo also, what bit needs to be trimmed, I thought it would just plonk straight in with the O/D wires fitted?
