I wil assume you have a 6 speed.

Take a flat blade screwriver and pry up the shift pattern.
Take a pair f vice grips and clamp down on the metal T.
Pull up.

Unscrew ****.

To add to this, if you are having trouble pulling up on the wedge. STOP! Get a hammer and tap upward on the vise grips, you'll save yourself a potential black eye or hole in your roof.

If this is an automatic, pry out the shift button, get snap ring pliers and pull out the snap ring, then the **** wiggles right off.
