Hi,
I've got an 03 TL Type S. Recently my leather type S shifter got scraped up and is peeling. I wanted to know if the 2002 Type S shifter they sell here will fit my 03?

Also how do I replace it... i mean do i just screw the old one off and then the new one back on? i'm scared I might mess up the something down there in the tranny (which I already replaced cuz it broke down).

Thanks

 

i should elaborate... is there a special way i should twist it on/off cause i'm twisting it as hard as i can and no luck.. anyone know any tricks with pliers or something?

and do you guys think i should use loc tite or something when i screw the new one back on?

 

A good firm twist counter-clockwise should do the trick. Mine came off quite easily...

 

you're probably the only one.. gotta take a reall firm counter-clockwise turn to get it off. once you do, then its easy.

 

This is from an 04 but it may help.

yea if your a girl! J/K

 

it didnt trouble me at all. i got it out without trying that hard and i have a 99TL! and i just replaced the shifter only a few months ago

 

anyone know anywhere to get it besides this site/auto carparts.com? 90 bucks is steep

 

ebay 20 shipped..

 

that hurts..

 

i was joking
