| Lift the front of the centre console and unplug the window switch socket. Remove the centre console by lifting at the front end and unhooking from the hand brake lever at the same time. The higher the hand brake is on the easer it is. |

| Tuck the lower gaiter into the transmission tunnel. Pushing the gear lever left and right creates a little more room to get the gaiter back in. |

A lot less travel 30% or more and the force to change gear is more heavy but i knew that would happen thats why i supplied a more heavy gear knob. You can not just waggle the gear stick and say yes its in neutral because it doesn't waggle no more . A lot more precise. Five small clicks and everyone's a gear if that makes sense. |
