So I have a 2005 T1 V8 Volkswagen Touareg. I'm in the process of replacing the whole shifter assembly. Not just the T handle, I'm not trying to get it unlocked out of park. The shifter mechanism broke so I bought a whole new one. My question is, do I need to remove the whole center console to get the old assembly out? I've gotten the trim off but all the bolts seem fairly unreachable unfortunately to get to without removing a bunch more plastic. Does anyone have any know how in this situation? I'm at a loss and trying to get this done before Sunday evening.

Anything could help so please do!
