Title: Gear Stick
Post by leftofcentre on Feb 14^th, 2006, 7:18pm

Not really a problem this one but just wondering if anyone knows how to remove the Auto gearstick surround + gear indicator. You know, - the panel that has the mode switches.

need removal to change green illumination to Blue LED's.

This will then complete my blue dash LED mod.

:D

so how does one remove the handle, release button and Overdrive Button to unscrew the gear stick?

Presume this is neccessary to remove the mode switch panel?

4 bolts hold the whole gearstick assembly in place, you'll see it when the covers are off, you can get to it but if you're soldering etc i think it might be better out altogether

tricky.....there is a small allen key in the shift selector, undo this and the selector will be removabe, be carefull, the o/d switch will still be connected

......me thinks these will be the hardest bulbs to do yet!

And to remove the whole thing? Undo 4 bolts right??

And whats its relationship with the linkage under the car? must be more linkages/pivots etc to remove no?

just one clip holding the linkage together, easy enough once you see it
