Hey guys I need your help and I have been looking everywhere for an answer, before I go ahead and try to do things myself.

I just got a brand new 2015 IS 250 F sport and I want to change the Shift **** but I I cannot twist it off like other vehicles can, because of the leather attached to it. Do I have to take out the console and get underneath and try to remove it?

 

You don't need to take out the console panel. There is a claw from the leather boot.

Taken from Repair Manual from Toyota TIS. I took a snapshot only in case it infringes the copyright.

 

Thank you so much! The only reason why I registered for this site is because I needed to know the answer to that. But now I know I can really trust this Lexus Forum to get answers for anything on a lexus.
Thanks alot again!
