Trying to get to bulb in auto transmission unit!

Post by Emma&Al »

I need to change the bulb in the auto gearstick thing.
When it's dark I still forget where the R is!!

So, I found the grub screw and got it out with my precision screwdrivers (i was impressed with those!) took the handle off... so next come the 'plate' that sits on top of the letters....I cant get it to come up!! I've tried a miniscule flat head screwdriver...but it sounds like its going to snap.

Has anyone attempted this? Im sure I can do it and now Im just getting annoyed at myself!
Thanks Emma :)

Just remove the four screws holding the housing to the floor and lift the housing off the gear selector.Just so you know,the grub screw uses an allen key.Mine does anyway.
