need help with trans shifter plate

Yes, it will interchange with any xk8 bezel that has only the sport switch (I think 2003 and up).
To get it off, place a credit card in between the j-gate and bezel, from the top, down into the assembly...there are four (4) tabs that will release when you slide the card down in between them, at 1:00, 5:00, 7:00 and 11:00. Go slow, it'll come up with each tab location release...wiggle free.

Cellslinger... be very patient and careful when getting at the retaining clips or tines on the bezel to remove it. I removed mine and managed to break one of them. I used a Subway frequent buyer card and just about mangled it beyond recognition - maybe a Visa card is stiffer. It was hard to keep the ones that released to stay released when you worked on the others. Anyway, take your time. I eventually got it done and reinstalled (had to reinstall my S mode switch, which I had pushed into the console.

New shifter plate installed
Thanks for the help flydutch and h2o boy, the credit card worked great. If anyone is interested I ordered a 1997 j gate or shifter plate and it is not compatible with 2003 one of the plugs are different female instaed of male and the markings on the plate are different 234 instead of 2345 on the manual side. found a 2005 and it is identical. Thanks again for the input.
