Hmm. Hadn't considered doing that - was trying to avoid removing the P/B assembly. Maybe I can't. I will pick up a pair of those channel lock snap retaining ring pliers - I should have a pair of those for work like this.
That said, lets say I proceed with trying to remove the whole assembly and I remove the park lock cable from the trans end. Is removing the shifter cable and adjusting wheel easy enough? I'm going to guide and thread them through the openings in the firewall. Wondering if I can easily pop out the large rubber rectangular-looking plug so the cable can easily slide through, wheel intact...?
As an aside, now would be the perfect time to lube the pushbutton assembly since it looks rather dry and every now and again, I'll depress Reverse and the car won't shift into Reverse, which necessitates me playing with the buttons back and forth until it finally takes. Maybe a cable adjustment with the wheel? Do I just spray the springs, etc with oil? Looking through the FSM right now for details on that. Unit seems to works smoothly but lubing it couldn't hurt right?
