So did a very annoying complicated job to replace my cup holders as the nice damping slow open had stopped working and it crudely flipped open instantly - minor - most people wouldn't bother changing it - but I'm a perfectionist so I did. I had I realised QUITE how involved the job was and how many hours of my weekend it would eat I wouldn't have bothered! Anyway, got it all done. All sorted.
But now have a very weird issue.
Had to take the gear shifter off to get under the centre console to get the underside of the cup holder and remove it. Easy enough, remove the gaiter, unlock the plastic lock, pull off gear knob. Easy.
Got everything back together fine, but the lever on the gear shift you pull to change gear is now stuck in the in the 'in' position and therefore the car is stuck in park.
If I take the gear knob off and just use the metal stick, lifting the plastic bit on top first, it changes gear and drives fine (which feels weird without a proper gear shifter) - so nothing is 'broken' with the gear box, I can't get the gear knob back on with the lever out! I'll add some photos / vids soon so it makes more sense.
But any ideas? It's very odd.
