1993 Ford Mustang Center Console Exploded Diagram - Armrest & Shift Plate Parts

This document is a page from a Ford service manual showing an exploded parts diagram of a center console assembly, along with removal instructions. Step 3 of the procedure explains how to remove the gear shift lever opening finish panel, noting it snaps out and that on manual transmission vehicles the shift boot is attached to the bottom of the finish panel — the shift knob must be removed so the boot and panel can slide up and off the shift lever. The exploded diagram identifies the standard armrest console assembly (045C74), the manual transmission console gear shift lever opening plate assembly (044G24-A), the automatic transmission console gear shift opening plate assembly (044G24-B), the console armrest mounting access cover (047A62), and the four required bolt and washer assemblies (N606676-S58) that secure the console. The figure is referenced as R3274-D. Bleed-through text from the reverse page includes air bag system service precautions (disconnecting the positive battery cable for at least one minute before service, sensor bracket inspection after front-end damage) and portions of the console removal/installation procedure. A reader can learn the console component part/base numbers, fastener count, and the correct method for removing the shift lever finish panel and boot.
