Plastic shifter slider thing part number if anyone wants
Just had a friend PM me about the part number for the shifter plastic sliding part, someone else found the part number, so I can't take credit. I ordered it on Ebay and got it fairly quickly for $60 or so, I think the Bentley part is several hundred dollars, it's the same thing.

And to follow up, the part worked perfectly and was an easy install. Magnets were correctly located.
|
Did you find instructions on how to do the job or did you figure it out for yourself?
Looking at the shifter bezel on my car I can't see how it is attached to the console.

Johnny knows how to do it. I don't think it's all that difficult, my stereo install shop just accepted the part and said they'd put it on, and that "every Bentley that comes in wants this", which is probably exaggerating but they didn't charge me for it and knew how to change it. I know you have to pull out the center console, which is why I asked them to do it, since it was all coming out for the Ben Hur install.
Anyway, ask Johnny Hotspur or one of the other manly men on here that do their own work. |
If Johnny does know how to do this I sure hope he post how. Mines been sitting on the shelf for almost a year.

Hello All,
Just wanted to update that I never left work yet, so I did not get you all the info yet, I WILL be leaving work tonight and shall get the pics and info Sunday/Monday. Sorry for the wait. Johnny |
Hello All,
I am going to assume that you all know how to remove the shifter knob and the center console wood trim. So please see my pictures for the removal of the round PRD and shifter gate slider, in the first pictures you will see 4 clips, 2 for each side, unplug the wiring to the shifter gate, and then release the 4 clips to lift the assembly straight up, next you will see my thumb on one side and my fingers on the other side, hold the assembly as shown and squeeze with thumb and finger to release black plastic assembly from the round shifter piece, next you will see 10 clips to unclip, (PLEASE BE GENTLE) there will be 6 in the center (3 each side) and 2 at each end, some were already broken and missing on the unit I am using for information, so I marked all the spots with red, once you unclip the 10 spots, lift the inner cover off to access the slider and replace. Johnny ... https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...27b88cd1d6.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...a2ec8f06e7.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...51a56bd9fe.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...03684b5dc9.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...ad3bc0d2f0.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...8a3e0b25f9.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...8b5267f7a4.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...e2235aa4db.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...7d8bf11b38.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...cbdd92f82e.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...5c4f65778c.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...a1f6714c91.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.6sp...4068126dd0.jpg |

Item 5 in this diagram is the cover piece? https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ZkoAA...ftU/s-l500.jpg Johnny said: I am going to assume that you all know how to remove the shifter knob and the center console wood trim. Is there instructions somewhere on removing the shifter and console wood trim? |
Johnny can help there. There are also threads on here on how to do it. I had my radio installer do it, he had done them before, so it couldn't have been that difficult.
Also anything thinking about buying that piece, Ebay shows "94% sold" if that means anything. I'm sure more can be found under the part number, but I had good luck with this shipper. |
I'm ready to order the replacement part.
Is there a write-up that describes removal of the center console and shifter surround? |
Lads?
Social distancing not required here. LOL |

You're going to like your car more after it goes in. Nobody else notices it, but it made me crazy; after putting it in, it feels much better. I think I spent $60, but I'd do it for $100 without blinking an eye. It's like the difference between driving around with a check engine light on or off.
Good call on changing it. |
