For those of you looking how to remove and refit the 1/R unit in the MC Shift or Stradale...
Just done mine tonight...took about an hour...here goes a walk through:
Step 1
Remove centre console cards...drivers side, pops out on left hand side of card (3 pins) and slide down right side to remove. For passenger side, pop out right side and left side slides down.
Take care here as the fixings can be quite brittle. Mine are already a little damaged from a prior removal.
Step 2 Remove inserts from cup holders and using a size 4 hex bit, unscrew the 2 bolts
Step 3 Remove ashtray to reveal and remove bolt 3
Excuse the dust on mine-needs a good clean!
Step 4 Use a small flathead screwdriver to gently prize off the traction control (?) button to reveal and remove bolt 4
Step 5 Now you can lift up the whole console levering it away from the stereo
Be careful as some wired connection will obviously be attached and limit range of movement
Step 6 On the underside locate the 3 screws holding in the 1/R panel (either side of and below) the brown connecting block. These can now be removed using a Philips or flathead
Step 7 Slide back the lever on the brown connecting block to detach from the 1/R unit
Step 8 Push the unit from the underside and it will easily come loose to remove and refit
Now reverse the steps - be sure to connect the brown connecting block fully and maybe test before putting it all back together!
