1.
Remove the plastic surrounds from the gearstick as follows:
a) Pull upwards on the handbrake boot to remove – there are
pop-type fasteners that can be seen in figure 1.
b) Remove the screw from underneath the handbrake boot that retains the
gear lever shroud, and also the two screws from inside the centre console.
Shift the centre console back just enough to allow you to lift the rear of the
gearstick shroud up.
c) Lift the back of the gearstick shroud up enough to clear the
centre console, then pull towards the back of the car to pop the
final two fasteners. Unscrew the gear knob, remove the shroud
and set it aside.
d)
Unscrew the plastic buttons that hold the rubber boot/foam insulation,
remove it and set aside.
