Pry off the plastic cover. Under the cover you will see an L shaped key, pry the key up and out. Unscrew the shift ****. It is easy "IF" the key comes out. It can be a real bear requiring penetrating fluid, vice grips, hammers, ect. Good luck.

Also you may have a few unwanted words to fly around trying to get the key out. Can be a real pain in the but. Good Luck.

It's a royal pain. You have to have a set of needle nose style vise grips to clamp onto the pin. It took two of us to do this job on a buddys car and we had to use a block of wood and a hammer.

I made a special tool to remove mine by bending a piece of flat bar, and filing a slot in it to match the ears on the key. Could be that I have too much time on my hands, but I did not smash any radio buttons, break any glass, or knock the mirror off.
