Found Two Work-Arounds

The service manual says the shifter needs to come out to get the trim surrounding the radio/heater controls off.

I've found two work-arounds.

First, just bend the bezel around the shifter and there's enough room to squeeze the controls out.  This also leaves the bezel flopping around in the way when you pull the radio box.

Second, disassemble the shifter in place, because it's the plastic cover over the shifter guts that are the problem and not the actual shifter.  I found the guide to get the shift knob off the lever and the cover just pops off once the knob is gone.

I need to see if there's a replacement knob that's more fun once I have that taken apart too.
