Feb 2010 at 12:04 Just looked in the haynes and it says to undo the two flange joints on the exhausts along with heatsheilds to get to the selector switch,also it says summat about get a jack under the the one end of transmission and undo the bolts,what a nightmare,is this really correct,or is mr haynes taking the piss.

can't help you with taking off as I swapped mine off the car. From memory it is a lot easier than you are saying haynes says. Just a wiring loom and approx 13 mm nut and it slides off and down.

However don't forget to adjust the position of the switch properly when you put it back on. It explains how to in the haynes using something like an eight of an inch drill bit

peesh of pish...iirc make sure the exhaust is cold and pull off the cover..the switch is held on by two 6mm bolts(10mm spanner)and the lever is held on the shaft with a 15mm nut iirc..unplug the wires from the plug and the switch is in your hand.i think its in the maintenance section how to set it back up or if you have a haynes its in there and the top 6mm bolt is a 1/4 turn at a time type barsteward but all in all its an ok to do job Thumbs Up!
