Well done. Perhaps you could share your experience of how to remove the auto gear shifter. Thanks.

shifter
Researched the issue at various google sites and found that the shifter-knob simply pulls straight off the shift-bar by depressing the button and pulling up..
Was able to find after visiting several wrecking yards the correct plastic shroud to a 2000 s/v40 which had the selector mechanism intact ($25). Removed the old shroud, installed the new bulb ($8) from the dealer then popped in the replacement shroud. Used a thin utility blade to ease the shroud from its positioning. Only thing tricky is making sure the selector is lined up in the correct position in relation to the shifter...this small plastic leg looks like it could easily be broken...(in-fact) this is the piece that was broken on my old shifter. Re-install the shifter by depressing the button as you push it down onto the shift-bar. |
