Start Button Removal

[summakor]

My push-start button is acting up and I bought a replacement and pulled out the shifter frame (manual). I found what I think are VW instructions and it just says to push the button out from underneath, then disconnect the connector. But mine doesn't come out. I also found a DIY on YouTube but it says to remove the connector first, which is pretty awkward. Is there a trick to this?

It's pretty hard to pry out when it has never been replaced. Just be patient and work slowly.

I suggest removing the connector first.
