Regarding the shift indicator that Peter mentioned. If you have a column shift and your indicator works, while you are under there getting at the knurled knob, carefully disconnect the end of the cable attached to the shift tube. It is a simple hook and loop end. Then carefully unthread the cable from the support hook a little higher up. Might be a good idea to have a flashlight with you, even if working in the daylight.

If you have a functional indicator you don't want to mess it up. These VDO indicators aren't cheap, probably $110 or more.
