If your talking about the shifter plate there are 4 screws at the corners. Unscrew the shift **** ( auto or manual) early years had fiberoptics that need to be removed as the bottom of the shift pate is lifted and early non AC cars have vent **** levers that need to be removed with a small Allen screw on the bottom side. The cig lighter power wire and light bulb need to be disconnected.

Remove the carpeted side panels. You'll see the trim screws holding the shifter console. There are two hidden screws beneath the center cluster.

Work slowly. Everything is plastic.

Shifter **** will need to be removed and HVAC, windows, etc will need to be disconnected.

Purchase the assembly instruction manual (AIM). The AIM shows how the plate was installed.
