I've got the infamous sticky gear selector problem.

I've bought the bushing kit to fix it but I'm looking for some guidance on how to pull the centre console around the shifter apart to perform the maintenance.

Anyone here that can provide some guidance?

Thank you!

 

Ok. Figured it out on my own. For future reference, here's what I did:

Push the start button (but not the brake) to turn on power to accessory mode.
Engage e brake
Pull up on cup holder to open access cavity
Remove the two Philips screws holding down the drop tray
Put the vehicle in neutral
Pull up hard on the shifter **** to remove. I had to use both hands.
Open centre console arm rest lid
Reach into cavity access area and pull up on the sides closest to the centre armrest. It should pop up.
Lift the centre part of the console up and over the shift rod.
Angle the console out of the dash. There is only one wire connecting everything and you don't need to unplug the harness.

So that was easy.

Now I need to see if I can figure out how to install this bushing kit. It's not immediately obvious where everything is supposed to go.

Has anyone else done this?
