Default shift **** remove

Hi all--I refinished dash and center console parts of my 96 vett, but can't get the **** off, don't see any pins holding it. Do i need just more brutt force? or is there a trick to this. Also looked inside after removeing the botton n don't see anything locking it down either. I removed the 4 screws when takeing it off, but don't want to risk scratching new paint replaceing it the same way, All help would be great thanks....


Pasta Mike...

auto or stick? Both require removal of the "button" on top . Stick will have a "wedge" pin in it, auto will have a c-clip.

I didn't realize there's a tool specifically designed to remove that c clip. I used two screwdrivers and a lot of swearing to get mine out.
