Having perused the forum for insight, I was able to lift up my center console to see why it wasn't sitting properly and hopefully get some light to the gear indicator. Apparently, the PO did not have access to this wonderful forum because it looks like someone pulled it up without removing the ashtray and change holder. The front lip of the wood was split and the right hook (?) was broken off. I have glued the wood back but is there any fix for the plastic hook part? Has anyone rigged something up to make it stay?

One other question, how do I get at the light for the gear indicator? It wasn't on the side where shown in a previous post's pictures. Is it optic fiber in my car?

Thanks,

Alex
