Yes: The wood comes off in a manner similiar to that described in the stereo removal article on early w124 cars, not sure about the later one. The shifter light was discussed in the thread http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?threadid=16579

There are a number of other threads under shift light, shift bulb, center console trim, etc.

Hope this helps
