Default Auto tranny shift **** 78 SA??????

Good afternoon fellow C3 experts,

Planning to order a cup holder from one of our vendors and from the looks of it fitting over the shift panel console it appears that the shift ball and silver push spring has to be removed...

? is.......Are there any specific directions that would help me R&R the ball and spring assy without skewing it up?????

Any and all help is greatly appreciated...........

Cordially,

mk's78

Mike

All you have to do, is unscrew the push button, and then unscrew the the shift ball. That's all there is to it. Just be careful not to lose the spring that's under the button, when you unscrew it.

Made me think of one of those Detroit Chevy Billboards that said
"Remember When Your Cupholder Wore a Poodle Skirt?"

Did you look closely at the picture, seems like it just slips over the shifter without having to take anything apart!

Those "cup holders" are not very deep. I don't think I would trust my cup of joe to that while the car is in motion! Keep a can of carpet cleaner handy.
