Shifter tape access

[Ares]

Does anyone know how to access the shifter tape on a D1 automatic. Its the black strip of plastic that moves with the shifter. Somehow, the black square gadget that secures the tape to the shifter lever got dislodged and the indicator isnt lined up properly. Thanks, John

Nevermind, I fixed. What a PITA! Had to remove the console and get under the shifter bezel.

Sorry, if I would have gotten on earlier I would have warned you of the fun that was going to be.

Would I have to go through the hell he did to change one of the bulbs, in my LR you can only see the symbols lit up on the passenger side and not drivers.. Its a pain at night, cant see what gear im in..

It is not the easiest fix to change the bulbs, but not as bad... To me about 30 minutes, but that was because I just couldn't get my finger in there very well.

what do I do to open up the cover to try to replace the bulb?

 

[joey]

If you pop off the plastic shifter cover (above the rubber mat) you will see the plugs for the bulbs... remove the plug and the bulb (read have fun) replace bulb, reinsert, replace cover...

 

[Militant-Grunt]

does the cover just pop off? or are there any screws? I dont want to break anything..

Use a think-edged flathead screwdriver, or a knife blade...it just sits in there, barely clipped in.
