It has clips around the inside edge.....push down gently and it comes right out.....but since your changing the shifter the console has to come out anyway. :cheers:

:iagree: just grab a couple of screw drivers and pry the demon key up, some people have trouble with this, but mine came out w/o any trouble. Removing the interior is pretty easy, there is a how to somewhere on the forum

good luck

Thanks for thew help guys. I was going to try this http://joshker99.home.comcast.net/shifterpage.htm
but Im opting against it. Im gonna either go with the breathless performance or the B&M. And youre right on the vette essentials site they give dirsctions on how to remove console and shifter and they say its really hard to remove the **** but it took me like 30 seconds. There is a little lip on the key you can just get a good size flathead and pry it out. :skep:
