Take the gear shifter apart?

I dont think you know wkat im asking. The part I need to replace is the slide tha keeps the dirt out of the console. The shifter goes thru it. If you look on the free forum some posted an easier way but I cant get past removind the pullup handle on the shifter. The post starts by taking the torx screw just above the pullup handle with the shifter in neutral. See www. Thesaabsite. Com/boards/veiwtopic. Php?T=212

I marked in your picture what piece I am trying to replace. You need to take the shifter apart to replace this accordian. I get stuck after I take the shifter apart in two pieces by removing the torx screw above the pull-up knob. You can see this torx screw by placing the shifter in neutral.

Hope you can help

Thanks-

I don't know if you still need help but this part is called the jalousie can be purchased cheaply at eeuroparts. Com. Ive replaced it the only tricky part is getting the shifter knob off once that's off you can easily pull up the plastic and replace the gelazzi if your back light for your Park reverse neutral Drive isn't lit up at night make sure to replace the bulb while you're in there you're going to need a small Phillips head screwdriver when I say small I mean teeny I had to go out and buy when I didn't have one there is a hidden Phillips head screw you'll have to come from the radio side to get at it once you open up the top once you remove that screw the last thing you'll have to do is to remove the wires that are soldered to the sport button I took a solder iron and just heated up the solder pull them off gently and reattach them the same way when I was done the best way to do this is to put a Gob of solder down first put the metal piece on top of the solder that you want to solder in and just hold the iron to the metal piece until it sinks into the sodder that'll make the easiest and best connection then just put it all back together and you're good to go it took me a couple hours to do the whole deal mainly just because I didn't know what I was doing and I had to kind of feel my way through I also made sure to test the button before I put the head of the shifter knob back together just so I was sure it was working just be very careful that if you start the car you're in neutral that's the only way the sport button will work or even drive with your foot on the brake I hope you already accomplished this but if you didn't good luck brother it's not that difficult just takes a little time
