i've searched but can't seem to locate how to remove the tip stuff so the console will come out, don't want to break anything...what do i take off first and how up front? thanks, kk

 

From a post by Loren at Renntech.org:

Removing:
Lever the locking button A off with a suitable tool or finger. The locking button must be pressed so that the tool can be inserted between the selector lever B and locking button. (The ignition key must be in position 1 before the locking button can be pressed.)
2. Remove compression spring A and pull spring clip B off toward the rear.
3. Pull selector lever up and off.


Installing:
1. Assemble the selector **** with spring clip, compression spring and locking button. Fit conical compression spring with the small diameter facing the guide peg.)
2. Press the complete selector **** onto the shift lever until it bottoms. The spring clip must fully engage in the slot on the selector lever.
3. Check function of locking button.

 

thanks man, just what i need to get started...so what is holding the front of the console in place, another torx hiding somewhere in there?
