changing tiptronic shift plate and shifter - diy?
Hi everyone,
I bought a new silver tiptronic shift plate and a black leather, silver knobbed tiptronic shifter to replace my old set with was all black and looked a bit too plastic for my liking. My question is, is this a DIY project? If so, how? :dance: Thanks for any and all help. Jimmy |
Hi,
This is definitely a DIY Project. Proceed as follows: ● Turn Ignition ON ● Push Shift Lever Button and Insert a small Allen Wrench Up under the Button from below. ● Press down on the Allen Wrench to Pry out the Shift Button ● Underneath the Button (once removed), you'll find a Spring and Clip. Remove these (noting the orientation of the Spring) and lift off Shift Knob. ● Using a Plastic Pry Tool (or carefully using a Screwdriver) insert under the Base of the Shift Plate and Pry this off. ● Install New Shift Plate by snapping it into position ● Install New Shift Knob and reattach Spring and Spring Clip (again orienting it as before) ● Snap Shift Button back in place on New Shift Knob. You're done - Total Time: 5 min. Hope this helps... Happy Motoring!... Jim'99 |
Thanks for the instructions
Thanks for this. Worked like a charm and always better than going to the dealership.
I found this octagonish black plastic piece that has a spring attached to it when I lifted the shift plate up. I only hope that it fit back into place as it should when I put the new shift plate back on..... Everything seems to shift fine so I guess I didn't screw anything thing up.... What is the plastic piece with the spring in it anyway, and which way is it really suppose to face? Jimmy |

That's just a Spring Seat, if you reinstalled it like before... you're OK - Good Job!! Happy Motoring!... Jim'99 |
