1.
Unscrew the gear knob and remove the plastic surrounds from the gearstick following the appropriate
instructions below for your year model.
•
MY97-98 – Open the cup holder tray
and remove the two Phillips head
screws found behind (figure 1), then
gently lift the rubber gearstick boot at
the front corners to expose another two
Phillips head screws (figure 2). Remove
these also and the surround will lift off.

•
MY99-00 – Lift the lid of the centre console, and remove the two Phillips head screws that hold down
the handbrake shroud. Lift the handbrake shroud off (it clips in at the front), and then the gearstick
surround simply clips off.
•
MY01-07 - Lift the lid of the console between the seats above the handbrake. On the plastic handbrake
shroud there are two slots, using the flat-blade screwdriver padded with a rag, carefully lever the shroud
up on each side (there is a pop-type fastener on each side). Lift the handbrake shroud out, giving you
access to the gearstick surround. Simply lift the plastic shroud off, it is only lightly clipped in and does
not need much force.
