I need again your help.

I want to dismount the cover of the transmission tunnel (sorry, that I have maybe not the right English vocabulary).
Therefor I unlocked the handbrake cable from underneath.

Problem is that the handbrake lever will not go in the upright position.
It stops at about 60 degree. From underneath I can see, that the handbrake mechanism contacts the gear box at about 60 degree and so the lever can not be pulled any further.

Has anybody had such a problem?

Best regards from Germany

Hi Mark,

you are right.
The console and the dash stuck(ed) together and I used a plastic spatula too to devide them.
But that's not the problem.
The problem is - in my case - that the hand brake lever will not go vertical and due to that I can not lift the console.

Best regards from Germany
