A/T Shifter Slide Cover Replaced, YEAH!!!! Options

[FrankB2]

I've seen a couple of threads here asking how to disassemble the A/T shifter, and disconnect the O/D wire. I ordered the new slide cover from the local Toyota dealer, and had already decided not to rewire, and make a 30 hour project out of it. I just made a cut with a straight edge razor, and it's plenty flexible to fit around the shift lever:



This car was mint when I bought it except for this:



I found all the change that had fallen down there since I bought it last October, and some other things that looked like throat lozenges, etc. I had to pay $58 for that sliver of plastic, but it looked like A$$ before.

EDIT: It has a new slide cover, but it's still an automatic. Not the coolest car, but my wife can drive it...LOL!
