Access to Shifter
 

Shifter is a little sloppy and the linkage seems loose. I need to adjust it but I need to know the best way to access the 3rd screw that holds the console in place directly in front of the e brake. Do I need to cut thru the carpet or is there another way?

This short description might help:

Remove Console

Just carefully pull it back from the top and tuck the carpet back under when you install the console again. Easy peasy.

Thanks for the step-by-step procedure. Very helpful.
