[ADR]

I received the shifter assembly from Ebay today. I failed to notice in the picture that this is an AUTOSTICK. So obviously, the gear selection window, electronics and mechanics of the lever are different than the 2002 normal auto gate.

I've dissassembled the AUTOSTICK to find how the chrome shaft is attached to the linkage. I hope to simply remove the chrome shaft from the 2003 linkage and replace it into my 2002 linkage without too much trouble.

This leaves the the illuminated gear selection window. The AUTOSTICK has a leather shift boot that I would like to keep. However, I'm afraid that my 2002 molded plastic gate cover also slides the gear indicator. Once the cover is removed, the gear indicator may no longer work.

Next step is to remove the center console to find out how much of my 2002 shift linkage matches the 2003. I may need to mod some parts to make this work....
