I would search and or post this in the drivetrain forum. You will get more resposes there I would think, instead of the engine forum.

there is a small u shaped clip in the shift handle, remove that & the shift handle will come up. There is a small harness that you will have to unclip. The button & p/c board will come out at that thime. The button & board is available as an assembly only. reinstall the button & board, push the handle back on the shifter & replace the clip, being careful not to nick the wires that connect the button to the board...(dont ask)

that is why i am asking. while reinstalling the shifter i pinched the two white wires off the connector and now i dont know what to do. the shifter is already off the car. how do i access the little white connector inside the handle.

You need a new knob. Even if you think you fixed it you will have problems with the OD button only working 50% of the time. You can usually get them on ebay for $20
