Default Re: broken shifter

There is a little U shaped clip that holds the **** on the shifter (it looks like a thick staple). Use a small screwdriver and pry this clip out of the shift **** (I can't remember whether it's on the engine side or the trunk side of the shifter, but it's down on the neck of the ****).

Once you get the **** off, popping off the A4 panel is cake. Inside there, you should be able to take the rest of it apart and see what's going on.

Good luck,

Andrew
