Hey,
I just got that stupid little plastic trim piece that covers the hole around the shifter for an automatic (thanks Mike) but I don't know how to get it in. Do I take off the top part of the shifter? Does anyone have any idea? Any help would be awesome cuz I dropped another quarter down there today on my way through tolls... Thanks! |

You have to pull apart the whole dash to get all of that out. Pull the center console, then the lower dash. You'll get to it eventually.

I took it off and sold it to him and I didnt have to take the dash off... I broke the auto shifter piece cause I didnt take the time to pop some of the tabs off, but you deff wouldn't have to take the dash apart to get to the shifter... |

I think that may be the thing that, to avoid breaking, requires the lower dash to be removed. There's the top-trim piece that just clips in which also has the cigarette lighter/pocket and then there's a couple other pieces of trim under it. To get anything else out after the upper-most piece of trim, you need to pull the lower dash and center console. Pulling the selector stick is a bitch too, there's two screws but the O/D switch keeps it tightly bound in. I never learned the correct way to remove that either, I know most just pop out the O/D switch and cut the wires, but there's gotta be a way to disconnect the wire under the auto-shifting unit. -------------------- ~Moving on to a 2002 Corolla S~ R.I.P Tom Celica - 1994-2010 |
