How to remove center console on Chrysler Lebaron GTC Convertible.

Frremove the shifter knob by using a small allen wrench - there is a small allen set screw at the back of the knob. Actually, you’re not removing it, you’re just loosening the screw enough to slide the knob right off of the shaft.

Chrysler Pacifica Shifter Knob
Once you have the transmission shifter knob off, remove the trigger by pulling the trigger right out of there…just tug on the trigger a bit, it is simply resting in a little plastic slot.

Once you get the rubber (not plastic, rubber) trigger piece off of the inner plastic trigger mechanism, you will need to very very carefully pull that inner plastic trigger out, past the leather edge (see pic below, by leather edge I mean right there where the orange thing is that you’re going to add), to where you can work with that white tip that is hitting the leather edge. You will need to slip a shim of sorts over that white tip. See, the problem with the design here that Chrysler left us with is that the piston inside that knob eventually goes up too far into the handle. Once it goes up too far, the trigger piece will no longer slide in to make the piston go down, rather, it will hit flat metal. What you are doing is shimming that trigger to make it hold the piston down to where it will not slide too high.
Wont Come Out of Park
Now that you have the white plastic trigger dangling outbound and you have easy access to that tip that you just got past the leather edge, you will need to slide a tightly fitting shim over it. I found that using a rubber cap worked really well…just cut a small piece of a cap like this off, slip it over the trigger tip, then CAREFULLY work the trigger tip with shim on back into the housing.
