Grab bar replacement

[d3Code]

Does anyone know how to remove the grab handles on either side of the shifter? I got a set of carbon fiber ones and I would like to install them myself if possible.

I'm also getting a new shifter to match and I need to remove that as well.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if the whole console has to come out to get to the rear most screws or not. have a look at the diagram here

To remove the shift knob:

1. Selector lever is in position D.

Note - The button (inset) at the front must not be pressed down when the selector knob is pulled.

2. Pull selector knob up and off.

To install the shift knob:

Note - The button must not be pressed down when the selector knob is installed.

1. Selector lever is in position D.

Caution - Spring in selector knob is overstretched!

- Only move the selector knob as far forward until the tool can be inserted.

- Avoid any further overstretching.

2. The unlocking hook in the selector knob must retract to the button (grey object). Lock the hook under the button, using short screwdriver A (for example).

3. Push on the selector knob until it audibly engages in the selector support. The sleeve is then inserted in the selector lever cover.

4. Remove the tool on the handle.

5. Functional test of gear selecting system:

- Will the vehicle start?

- Do all the selector lever positions work?

Hey Loren,

Thanks for the diagrams and informations.

Trying to get at bolt 4 by removing 6 but its looks like I might need to remove part of the lower AC controls to get at it.
