Hi guys! been working on getting the 96 up to specs, did the sound system, did a tune-up and fixed the caps; now turned my attention to the interior, car came with the original **** wrapped in ugly faded and dirty black vinyl which made it look like an imploded softball so I got this instead:

put the small allen screws:

 

unscrewed the old **** (yes I put the Lexus logo as background on my new Pioneer) and put the rubber bushing on top of the shifter

 

put the new shifter on with the bottom black ring first it needs to be in that order

 

A better look!

 

Tighten the screws centering the **** and moving the shifter to get to the allen screws; remember to keep the emergency and foot brake on! then screw the bottom black ring and you are done!

 

Another side! had to make minimal adjustment to the screws after the photo was taken so it looks centered, whole process took less than 5 minutes!

 

Next: shampoo the carpet and install original Lexus floormats I got on ebay!

 

what about the Overdrive button??

 

second gens don't have o/d buttons

 

Damn... I was hoping to see how someone redid the O/D so I could see if I could swap mine too. That one looks more fancy than the stock **** so it would help me make my car fancy lol
