Can you let me know what part is needed, and where you got it from. The exact same thing has happened to mine (VT2 Berlina) about an hour ago. Also, does the console have to be removed.
Cheers.
Just go to the Parts section at the holden dealer and ask for the part, just give them a description of the part and they will know what you are talking about,
It should be about $5, thats all i paid.
Now as to how to remove the old part,
Ok Put the car in to 1st gear, you will find that there is a screw at the bottom of the gear shift.
Remove it.
Now where the cigi lighter is there are 2 screws, 1 on either side of the lighter, they also need to come out.
Then it is a matter of pulling all the plastic out, a bit of stength is required to take the cover off.
once that cover is off you should be able to pull the cover off the gear shift,
as the cover comes off so will part of the button.
Now you will see the big oval surround to the gear shift is still in place, there are 4 clips under it.
no i got these clips off by just pulling it out.
You should be able to see everything, now that, that piece is out, floating around down there will be a pin, and the other part to the button.
This next part i found the hardest, you need to put the new botton in the gear shift cover, at the same time put the oval disk back on (BUT NOT CLIPPED IN PLACE AS YOU STILL NEED TO BE ABLE TO MOVE IT.)
You will need long needle nose pliers,
hold the pin with the pliers at the same time push the button down on the gear shift, and lift the oval disk up a little so you can see the hole in the new shift button, slid the pin in to pace, then once that is done it is just a matter of putting everything back into place the way it was,
I hope this helps a little
