Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / May 20082003 Matrix Gear select indicator
Good evening, I recent purchased an 03 Matrix all is well except the annoyance of the plastic dial with P R N D 2... It has become loose and I cannot get it to stay in place and cannot see an obvious or they are not oblivious to me a way to get the housing off or get to it to put it in place. Any and all help would be appreciate. thanks in advance cil > Good evening, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thanks in advance > cil I assume you're talking about the indicator located in the console with the shifter? If so, you can remove the cowling around the shifter and make an adjustment. Somebody said this is the same procedure for the Matrix: http://www.sound-repair.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=9 Same principle but my shift lever is not a part of the center console. There is an approximate 4" between the center console and the shift lever. I cannot find any screws on the outside of the unit nor can I find beneath the covering. >> Good evening, >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > http://www.sound-repair.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34&Itemid=9 > Same principle but my shift lever is not a part of the center console. > There is an approximate 4" between the center console and the shift lever. > I cannot find any screws on the outside of the unit nor can I find beneath > the covering. Most panels are merely clipped in now. Just pull or pry gently and it should pop out. > Same principle but my shift lever is not a part of the center console. > There is an approximate 4" between the center console and the shift lever. > I cannot find any screws on the outside of the unit nor can I find beneath > the covering. Start by pulling the knobs off of the climate controls, then pop the trim piece off with a trim removal tool or putty knife, After that trim piece is off, start working your way down to the shifter trim.

It's for a Pontiac Vibe, but it should work for a 'trix http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5940 >> Good evening, >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5940 Good find! John, Excellent, I have always thought that the engineers when designing a car started with the heater core and built around it. The old Cutlass, Monte Carlos were that way. I have now changed my mind that it is the gear select indicator. Just for s & g's how did you search to find this nugget? Thanks so much and I hopeyou have a Great weekend. cil >> Good evening, >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5940 > John, > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >> >> http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5940 Hi Have I Vibe, wanted a Matrix but the dealer was a real s__t head about getting the car I really wanted (5 spd manual), the Pontiac dealer down the street had 2 on the lot, I even had my pick of 2 colors. There is a Pontiac newsgroup on Usenet, someone there pointed me to the GenVibe site. There is one for Trix's also, but it looks like a hang out for kids who have nothing better to do that mod them (not that anything is wrong with that). I've learned so much about my Vibe from GenVibe site, and the "guys" there are really helpful (no "tude"). > I have always thought that the engineers when designing a car started > with the heater core and built around it. Some still do! |
