automatic shift **** removal
Does anyone know how to remove the shift **** from a 86' auto matic? Im guessing you pry up the button but I wanna make sure before I break it 
did a search found nothing, haynes manual says nothing either.
Thanks for any help!

never mind I got it, for those who dont know its easy. Pry the button up with a flat head screwdriver and when you look down where the button was, there is a snap ring, remove that with the snap ring removal plyers and bam its off.

That's all there is to it?? You just pop up the plastic button and there's a snap ring to undo then the know comes off?? I havn't gone out to the car yet to try that but I'm wanting to be a new dust boot on. Any other hints or advise?

Carefull when removing the center consol cover. The plastic is quite brittle and you may have to bend and jiggle it a bit after all the screws are removed.The same goes for putting it back. Fitting a new gear boot is self explanatory when you look at the way it's fixed in. Did all this stuff to my Vette last year.Pretty easy job,but remember not to crack the plastic consol. Good luck from a U.K.Vette owner.
