O/D question

[cwj06]

I have a 2002 gt with the auto trans. Does anyone know how to or where i can find out how to remove the O/D button off the gear selector?

i got ya, i fiddled around with that auto quite a bit after i got it out of the car. are you putting in a different shift knob or just moving the button?
to get it out, you are going to have to take the knob off (anyone correct me if im wrong), find the small allen wrench on the back of the knob facing the radio. after that is out, it should be basically free, just watch the shift button. be careful when removing it b/c of the wire to the od button. with the knob free, carefully slide the button out of the knob, careful now, and you should be just about set. if you split the button from its back, dont worry, it will fit back together. oh, make sure to undo the battery before you do this, otherwise you will probably pop a fuse. umm it has been a while, but i think i got everything. sorry, cant remember the size of the allen wrench. Just be careful, it will come apart no matter how much you think it is stuck. good luck, just let me know if there is anything else

got the shift knob off. Had to unplug the O/D button to get it out of the factory knob. I am changing the shift knob and i got the overdrive button relocation bracket to go with it. Thanks for the info

OK got it done. One more swift tug and the wires broke. No big, relocated switch to its new home soldered and shrink wrapped connections and walla.

whoa...


are you trying to eliminate it or just move it somewhere else?

Just moved it UPR and MGW both make a bracket to relocate it when changing handles. Notice it's right below the big yellow ball now.
