REMOVAL OF SHIFT SELECTOR
Pickup your flathead screwdriver and wedge them underneath the shifter cables and pop them off. The top of the trans should look like this now.
There are seven bolts total holding the selector into the tranmission. Some are hidden by the ABS module and the motor mount bracket. The following picture shows them where they are clearly located so you can compare it. I am also going to number them so you can follow the order on how to take them out.
Now take your 13mm Socket and start ratcheting the easiest bolts. These are bolt numbers
1, 2, and
6.
Next hardest is bolt numbers
4 and
5
You might be able to use the ratchet and socket to loosen both bolts but you cannot use them to completely remove them. The bolts are pretty long and the socket will get wedged underneath the tranny mount bracket. Break them loose with the ratchet them switch to the ratcheting wrench.
Now only two bolts left.
Bolt number
3 is located underneath the ABS module. You will have to position the ratcheting wrench so it is facing the turbocharger.
A better view of the actual bolt is here:
Proceed to ratchet wrench it out. One final bolt left.
Bolt number
7 is the hardest one of all of them. This is due to the fact that the shifter cable attachment blocks it COMPLETELY.
First, there are 3 distinct positions for this shifter cable attachment. The 1st is all the way towards the cabin. The 2nd is just a little bit backwards (in the middle of 1 and 3). The 3rd is towards the front of the car. It needs to be in the 3rd position. Pull the shifter attachment towards the front end of the car until it stops from going any more towards the front.
If you have a slim ratcheting wrench you may be able to fit it over the head of the bolt. If not, then you will have to do it like I did, the hard way. Start turning the wrench and continously keep loosening it.
As the bolt rises, so does the whole shift selector assembly! :yay:
When the bolt is loose, the back part of the assembly may still be attached. You will have to use some force here to pull it off, but once you do, your rewarded with the shift selector assemly in your hand and a nice peek at your transmission!
Then follow the steps on the forums to replace the assemly with a brand new AGP one.
Best of luck guys and gals :bigthumb:
