How to disconnect and remove the shift lever from the console on Lexus RX330?

Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery for Highlander models and 1999 through 2003 RX 300 models. Remove the center console trim panel, followed by the floor carpet and the lower trim panel. Disconnect the shift cable from the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers at the console and the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers electrical connectors from the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers assembly at the center console. Remove the mounting bolts and separate the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers from the console, noting the location of the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers mounting bolts, with a 2001 Highlander as an example. For 2004 and later RX 330 models, begin by removing the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers knob by rotating it counterclockwise.

Remove the front door cowl side trim panels and the scuff plates from the right and left door openings, followed by the center console trim panel and the glove compartment door assembly. Again, remove the floor carpet and the lower trim panel, disconnect the shift cable from the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers at the console, and disconnect the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers electrical connectors. Finally, remove the mounting bolts and separate the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers from the console, with the remainder of installation being the reverse of removal.

Lexus RX330 Automatic Transmission Shift Levers

Lexus RX330 Automatic Transmission Shift Levers offer drivers a direct, foolproof method of selecting Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, or Low for calm city cruising or confident highway merges. Early versions of the RX330 use Automatic Transmission Shift Levers in a selector mounted in the console that slides along a gated path next to a PRNDL window with a thumb button locking the lever to prevent unintended movements. A sturdy rod or cable is connected between the handle and the transmission manual lever, converting hand motion into mechanical fork motion, which engages each range with a positive feel. Safety is increased by an electronic shift interlock that holds the lever in the Park position until the ignition is on and the brake pedal is pressed, as is the case in all Lexus RX330. As the technology developed, the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers changed to a shift by wire architecture, sacrificing the physical linkage for sensors and a control motor to shift the range selector, giving the interior designers of Lexus the ability to use sleeker knobs or push-buttons without losing the familiar PRNDL layout. Regardless of generation, the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers maintain overdrive lockout or manual-mode switches for additional driver control and rely on bushings to keep movement tight, and when those bushings wear, a loose feel tells RX330 owners to seek service. Through these evolutions, Lexus combines proven mechanics with refined electronics so the Automatic Transmission Shift Levers provide lasting reliability and straightforward operation.
