how do i remove the gear lever, so i can pull out my centre console?

i noticed behind the gear lever, that there is a plastic plate, but i cant get the thing off, as i already have broken some bits off it

any tips?

slide the plastic sleve down on the shifter and there is 2 phillips head screws to be removed then the shifter comes off

yeah what he said Agreed

you will probably need a stubby phillips head, flat head (or trim tool if you have one like me)

slide the sleeve down, undo the 2 phillips head screws - be careful as they tend to chew out easily and the lever just pops off

then pop out the ash tray under the radio - it just pulls out

then pop the cover from the gear lever by getting a flat head screw driver (or trim tool) under the back of it and popping it up

hrmm i must be doing something wrong, but when i try to slide it down, it wont come off...
the plastic cover moves, but wont pop off!

You have to push down fairly hard. Oh and I would put it into N first and make sure that the plastic slid thing has a little space on each side B4 you do it.

Does anyone know if the Soarer gear shifter fits and works on the Aristo? I prefer the look of the Soarer shifter , not sure if this has been spoken about b4.

The only reason i think it wouldnt is because of the Aristo side button and the soarer top button selector. Just dont want to waste my money if it dont work

the side button on the aristo has a taper on it, that pushes the selector down from the top anyways, so that would pose no problem.

i would think worst case scenario it wouldnt be too hard to fit the entire soarer shifter
