My shifter was on pretty good, I may suggest a screw driver to pry it up and off...

I cut the inner circle out of mine for an easier fit. http://images34.fotki.com/v1143/phot...ture091-vi.jpg http://images32.fotki.com/v1107/phot...ture094-vi.jpg Put bolts back over ruber housing. http://images36.fotki.com/v1161/phot...ture095-vi.jpg Insert top of shifter, and tighten with provided allen wrench. http://images36.fotki.com/v1157/phot...ture098-vi.jpg I put my shifter cap back on and started the car up and tested the gears... http://images35.fotki.com/v1166/phot...ture102-vi.jpg At this point I was done with the short throw shifter install. Just had to put the console back on... :toetap: http://images33.fotki.com/v1115/phot...ture105-vi.jpg http://images36.fotki.com/v1155/phot...ture107-vi.jpg Obviously reverse through the install steps to reassemble... Hook back up your hazards, heated seats and cigarette lighter. Put the ebrake and side piece back in place after console is in. Screw the console back in place, same for the lid. Plug back in the traction controle and airbag button/ led's. Then reinstall the shifter top and screw... http://images33.fotki.com/v1117/phot...ture111-vi.jpg Final step: :steering: Shifter Install Pics Shane |

Excellent pictures and writeup. As good a how to as I have seen on installing the MGW. :thumbs:

Very nice! This will come in handy when it is my turn.
Thanks Shane!:cheers: |
Great writeup and pictures. I just installed the upgraded shaft yesterday after putting it off for two weeks as I found taking the console off and on a royal pain. I never took off the passenger side trim piece like you did before lifting off the console and wished I had seen your pictures first as I think that makes it much easier. The new shaft went in great and shifting seems even easier now if that was even possible. Love the MGW shifter.

excellent write up

Great write up!!! Why didn't you do this a few days earlier before I did mine???

Great Pictures
With such detail even I couldn't screw up.

Thanks for the great write up and pics Shane. I just might have to do that mod :) |
Nice Job. Any rattles from the stock knob or additional interior noise?. If you do notice any additional interior noise, you might want to go back and seal the area between the boot you cut out and the MGW boot with some more of the black silicone. I did this and things got quieter.
Should be noted that this install was on a 2005 model year. The 2008's are different in that there is no passenger side air bag panel in the console. You only need to remove the (2) screws inside the console tray that are under 2 plastic caps that are about the size of a nickel. Then remove the (2) screws in the side trim panel. :thumbs: |
Thanks a bunch... now I know I will install my MGW when I put in my new GM matching color console. Only want to have to take the console off once.
