thanks, but which part do i pop out? there's like different layers...the silver part with all the P, R, N, D, etc., then something black, and then the dark gray that goes up the entire center console. i just don't want to ding or crack anything.

The entire thing should pop right out. I recommend doing it from the bottom of the shifter to the top where it ends under the climate control.. SHould pop out failry easily..

Thanks for the info! it did pop up easily. it was kinda hard to move the fake aluminum finish to clean underneath, but's it's as clean as it's gonna get. also popped out the center air vents and made some adjustments to stop it from creaking. man, without you, i'm nothing. with you, i'm not much. haha. jk. thanks again!
