Nice, by far my favorite sliders for this platform.
I have put mine through their paces and I can’t say enough good things about them
Which steering wheel PN and pics?
Showed up 30 minutes early to work to get some ratcheting in.
The moto lift is from HF. Its original intended use was to pull the motor out of my Carrera, but with 2 little ones it was nearly impossible to do - so I never ended up using it until the other day.
Only hardware #1 and #5 were installed. The rest should be fairly easy...

Pay attention to color. Luckily the wife liked the contrast but there a few different options when you add in the heated steering wheel function. The big color difference was on the plastic surround on the back. You can pop them off easily enough if you peel off the heating elements from it. It’s glued on loosely. We’re just hoping that the leather material is a better quality now.
You can see where I broke one of the air vent surrounds while removing it for the Hamilton CarPlay.
Wheel looks great! On the Hamilton install, is there any guidance that you might offer. My biggest concern is that I will mess up my dash trying to disassemble the trim pieces. Thanks!
The Hamilton website has a good video for dash disassembly but for the vents, I found it easier to grab them from the actual front inside vent part and pull out. They recommend using a credit card to pry out from the top but that’s how I ended up breaking my trim piece. A good firm pull and the vent pops right out. The other parts are all just a couple of bolts and the panels pop out. I didn’t feel like I was going to break anything else during disassembly.
There was a little pop rivet piece on the lower trim piece by your lower legs that wasn’t talked about in the video, but you just push the center pin in and it releases easily enough.
All the wire harness plugs can only fit in one spot so there’s no chance of mixing any wires up.
The shift knob was getting worn so I did an upgrade.

How hard was this job on the 4 banana scale?
Like a 1 banana after you get over the fact that you’re touching an airbag. It really wasn’t near as bad as I thought it would be. Disconnect your battery and let the car sit a few min just to give you peace of mind.
I had the silver version of this for years until UV started to degrade the upper portion. Loved it. I did find it fits the palm better when it’s rotated 180° from how you have it though..
Now running a round carbon fiber knob I got cheap online. Will try to get a pic tomorrow.
How many miles on your vehicle? Was this the first time changing transmission fluid?
“Lifetime fluid”
and how many quarts did you swap?
Sadly, I am making it right from dealer that serviced this 200. Owner paid them $$$ to do a transmission fluid service but from the looks of it, they never really did.
I’m still dumbfounded why manufacturers say that we all know nothing is permanent.
I have a sneaking suspicion my local dealer pulled this same s***.
Any way to verify that other than doing a drain and fill at my next oil change?
