Pardon my ignorance, but i can't figure out how this shift **** comes off. I have removed the center push **** and the snap ring, **** will not pull off. Does it unscrew?
Yes, it does unscrew. Twist to the left and it should come right off. Kudos on getting that snap ring off. I had such a hard time with it.
i've had an 85, 90, and 96 - none of the gear shift ***** unscrewed! most of the time, they will pull straight off, but i did have one that (i'm thinking my 96) was stuck or frozen in place, and i had to work at it to remove it. they all have a slot for alignment, and pull straight up, but they do not unscrew.

Just changed mine today. It does NOT unscrew. After you remove the snap ring simply pull and twist from side to side. It'll slide off. Some are tighter than others. Good luck.
