What do you mean by 'gear selector panel' - the indicator on top of the shifter? It's stuck on IIRC so that should come off without removing everything.

The CL switch - hmmm, not sure. Thinking about how it's mounted and works, I'd say you'd need to remove the centre tunnel. But I'm not 100% about that. Just can't think how you'd get it out without doing that though, as there's not a lot of room around the switch itself?

i had to change this - it fiddly.

open ashtray and pull up gear gaitor. The switch pushes down to release. If you have spade hands you will struggle as the pipes for rear heating and jumb box get in way

pull the cable to get switch to gear stick area and unplug.

the hardest bit is relocating. I found some VRS tourrets helped me. Took about 10 mins in total
