Need to replace overdrive button in shift handle on center console.
From a repair manual it tells me to push down on the lower shift handle cover to expose the screw that hold the gearshift handle on. I try to push down on this cover and it does not move is their a trick to doing this?

See pictures. The front half of center console has to come out first.

Do you need to remove the center console before your able to push down the lower lever trim to get to the screw holding the knob on the shaft? Just pushing down on it with everything still on the vehicle it will not move down to expose the screw

It looks like with the console out it can be pushed down because other stuff in the way will allow besides your electrical connection for that may be in console not at switch.
