Gear Stick Surround

[Mark205 1]

Hi guys,

 

How do i go about removing the gear stick surround, (the one that contains the coin tray and cd cubby hole), i have undo most screws and it feels loose but i just cant get it out.

Their must be a screw or two still holding it on somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Cheers

If you remove your stereo and the cage its sitting in there will be two nuts below, 10mm head iirc

 

The by lifting the end up between the seats, assuming you've removed the nut from there too it should lift out, it drags on the carpet a little so needs a little force but it will come out

Cheers, i managed to do it, never saw the 2 little bolts holding it on.

Do you know how to take the whole gear linkage assembly off.

Ive undo all the bolts surrounding the gear stick and it seems to pull up, but then stops.

I havent got access to a ramp so getting under the car is a little risky.

You will need to disconnect the gear linkage ball joints underneath the car if you jack the car up on one side and put it on axles stands you should be able to see it, and you'll be perfectly safe
