Default Center console a little loose after console delete

I installed the console delete kit quite a while back.... many thanks to RockitMan for his DIY. Since then my center console has been a little loose. When I shift into 2-4-6 the console moves up a little, perhaps 3/16" of an inch??

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I missed during the install perhaps?

Thanks and regards,

Curt

If you performed the console delete install correctly, the center console should not be loose as you describe. It should be solid as a rock.

So, either you missed something or perhaps one of the torx screws has come loose.

If the front of the center console lifts on hitting 2-4-6, then I'd check the little torx just in front of the shifter.

Curt, your console could be loose for many reasons, but I'd check screw #6.

Default Great diagram

Great diagram, thank you. I found the offending screw! Unfortunately it's stripped. Off to fix it now...

I replaced screw number 6 and it hasn't fixed the problem entirely. It appears that the mount for screw #6 moves a little with the shifter. I suspect this is normal, but would appreciate comments from others with the console delete kit.

Thanks,

Curt
