Gently pry up the center ****, it will comr straight up. Then there is a snap ring underneath to pry off. If you don't already have one, buy a cheap tool to make it easier to get it on and off. After you get the snap ring off the **** should come off easily.

Is this also applicable to a '90 manual shift?

If I remember right, on a manual you pry out the center button, and then need to remove a wedge and the **** lifts off. Pulling the wedge out might take some work, maybe vise grips and a hammer.
