Thanks for the info! Finished the job a few days ago. Yup, pretty easy minus the lack of space to work with.
1) make sure vx is cooled
2) put vx in neutral and apply emergency brake
3) locate mode selector (drivers side of transmission)
4) take off metal cover (I used a flat head screw driver)
5) use 14mm socket to take off shift bar thingy...
6) use 10mm socket to remove the 2 mounting screws holding mode selector in place
7) disconnect the selector (follow wire up, right above)
8) heat wrap exhaust pipe (optional)
9) put everything back together
10) take vx for drive
