gear shift removal 1999 Sl 500
Can anyone tell me how to get the gear shift knob and lever out so I can install the new burl wood one with lever that I just bought? Do I have to remove the entire console?
Thanks,
Rocco

I believe there is a latch or bolt just underneath the knob. Turn that and the knob should come off. I heard people mentioned putting a dab of oil in the new knob makes installing it onto the shaft a lot easier. Hope this helps.
