Remove the kneeblocker (2) and the steering column opening reinforcement (1) before touching the shifter. After that, take out the upper and lower shroud arches (1&2). Back off the bolts that secure the column and drop it down enough to allow the gear shift lever to be removed. Detach the overdrive switch harness from the harness (2) if you have one, then pull the
Shift Cable from the shift lever as well. Remove the three screws from the gear shift lever mount and the inhibit link blocker pin before you pull the lever to the left toward the steering wheel and down.
