Look out for the Gear Position Indicator Lamp when removing the Shift Surround, it's easy to pull the wires out of the lamp socket. (ask me how I know)... The Shift Lever needs to have the "trigger" removed to get the rear trim off for refinishing. there's a screw under the TOP of the lever inside... It IS possible to remove the Shift Surround (SS) WITHOUT removing the console. I have just done this job today and am typing this waiting for the paint to dry. You can lift the INNER console enough to get the SS out, but ensure you remove all fasteners and flex the "sides" of the rear console out of the inner console, removing six screws located under the console lid (and after the console lid has itself been removed there's a couple of scews as a surprise!)

Great video man, really well explained. I've just picked up a BA XR6 and the only two things letting it down are the shifter surround and the clear coat peeling off the spoiler (I've already fixed the stuffed bonnet struts). I'll probably go with the chrome plate option because I'm lazy and once I fix the clear coat it'll be sweet. I'm surprised you guys can fail a warrant for no selector lights, pretty sure that doesn't matter in NZ, could be wrong though.

I’m sure you won’t have any troubles tackling those jobs you’re going to, there not too bad at all and they’re already broken anyway - how much worse could it get! I don’t think there is any interaction between the power window and lock actuator other than perhaps the wires are ran together, maybe just check they are still there running into the door from the body? If they’ve been pinched/cut/not hooked up when replacing a door?

Will be the wiring for the rear button in the door, button not plugged in properly or no longer working. Easy enough to see if all the wiring is there and plugged in with the door card off, if it's the button itself you may be able to pull it apart and check that all the contacts are clean? Otherwise they're reasonably cheap to replace, could maybe swap the one from the other side in to test first but not sure if they are interchangeable.

@Tom 🤷‍♂️

i really hate this design and plastic rubbish , im thinking of a diy stainless or galv console. im sure there are aftermarket shifters too, the cable ends are not my favourite either not a quick fix patented little gromets that all went where it belongs in the bin. miss the days when things were built much more robust and much easier to repair without having to buy parts because theyre cheaply made to cut costs maximise profit and speed up assembly time at the factory just like the plastic pedal boxes what an abomination.. my next car will be a commercial ute something robust.

How to remove manual one?
