Default Automatic shift **** removal

Well, I have another opportunity tommorow to losen my console so I can make the final connections to the last speakers.

Last time, I couldn't figure out how to remove it. I need to take the whole console cover off to clean under it. So any suggestions? Is there a set screw somewhere?

Lift/pull the button out and theres a Snap ring or C clip in there on the shaft that needs to be removed.Then it slides right off.
You may need the tool for the snap ring or C clip.I use snap ring pliers to push the clip apart and lift out.

The job is easier if you have snap ring pliers, Sears has them for about $10.
If you are really good, you might be able to get it out with a screwdriver, but it won't be easy.

You can get it off with a screw driver and needle nose pliers. I did it on my 86 but its a pain to say the least.
