1. Remove center console following instructions:

2. Remove old shifter panel top and bottom by unscrewing the screws on the underside of the old panel.

3. Put the new 2006 shifter panel and bottom boot together in the hole and screw the two pieces together with the 3 screws in red.

4. Now you are going to align the new shifter, on the two I did I pushed them all the way forward towards the front of the car and then centered it left and right.

Align the panel in a way where you can shift through all gears smoothly…..and then do the next step.

5. You then are going to figure a way to keep it from sliding around while you shift. I used 4 screws on each of the tabs shown in blue…you can use double-sided tape but I am not sure how well that will work while trying to align the piece.

REMEMBER: Do not screw the screw all the way in or you might go through the metal on the other side.

(MAKE SURE YOU ATTACH THE LIGHT UNDER THE SHIFT PANEL)

6. Put the completed panel and console back on the car, what I did was reattached all the wires…. make sure all items on the console work (lights, hazard signal, seat warmers, etc.). I then put the shifter in neutral and then slid the console on the shifter making sure I go through the shift indicator slider on the shifter panel.
