Re: [DML] Manual trans Cross Gate Cable Adjustment vs the Console "front panel"

["Jake Kamphoefner" <jakekamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

Believe it or not, it is as simple as just removing those two screws.  But 
as a fellow club member and I found one afternoon, it can appear to be much 
more difficult.  Near the front of the panel, there are two male "nubs" that 
slide into receptacles on either side of the panel.  On some cars, these 
things are really fused together.  The answer to just use more (gentle!) 
force.  You can probably lift the back of the panel up high enough to pry 
something underneath.  Just be careful not to gouge that expensive clock or 
bend the panel.

After thinking we were stupid for almost an hour, one hard pull was all it 
took to remove it.
