I have a 2003 hyundai elantra gt auto.

I spilled some soda on the console a while ago and it wiped the top off but i notice some water and goo coming out from the sides of the shift stick console.

i used a screw driver to take off the rubber part in the middle of the shifter and i noticed that on the gears there is all this orange gooey stuff.... is that normal?


I would like to clean all around the shifter but i cant find a way to open the console.

 

i need to remove my shifter **** on my 96 t/a with a A4 cant seem to get it off anyone know how to do it?
