89485, how the fuck do i take the OD button out to swap another one? FOR AUTO 2gnters

I'm refering to the automatic over drive button on the auto shifter. It seems to me you have to take out the leather-like skin wrap imo, but anyone have any other ideas?

You have to cut it and re-splice it back

. i cut the shift knob with a dremel to take out the o/d then unsoldered the wires from the circuit board and put it on a switch .

:wary ???? WHAAAT!!! :wary

So there is pretty much no way to remove the old od button without hacking the shifter open?

It makes me wonder how mitsu put it in in the first place. :shrug

i did it that way because i was throwing out the stock shifter anyway . you can also pry out the tabs on the black o/d button and pull the button off . i tried that for like 20 min and was like screw that . i heard people say they did it so your best bet is to try that but no matter what you have to take off the wires .
