Engine Start Button Sticking
Hi,
Can anything be done with an Engine Start button on shifter knob that sticks a bit once pressed (such as clean/lubricate the button)?!?
I'm told I can buy a new shifter knob which obviously is swapped out very easily, BUT you can almost never match the exact grain of wood and color, what with sun fading over the years etc etc (I'm very particular!)
Thanks

with a little bit handcraft you can change the wood trim part. it is just clued. but be careful the wood can split on too much effort. i did the change on my shifter knob too....
