ive been ripping apart my interior got everything out but the console and a little carpet, i got the two screws near the window switches, the 2 inside the console, where else are there screws? And how do i take off the shift ****? The car is an 85 ta thanks!

heres a pic...

 

When I removed the shift **** off my 92 there was a clip in the front of the **** about halfway down that you just pulled out and the **** slides right off. It may be different on your 85 though, not sure.

 

My 87 Camaro also just had a little clip in the front of the shift *** that I just popped out with a screw driver. I had to take out my cd player and heater/AC control unit to get the upper console out on mine. The console is different in a Camaro though, so I am not sure on anything. Have a look at the pieces around your cd player for any screws.

 

im gonna go check that out on the shift ****...thanks

 

ya that bitch isnt coming out easy, im uploading pics from my phone, im stumped

Hard to tell from that pic, but it looks like the same kind of clip that was on my ****. It was kind of tough to get out, but I just kept prying it out with a screwdriver and it eventually came out, then just slip the **** off.

 

yup...searched it, pulled it out and im good, the console is pretty loose but still doesnt want to come out...its 11 here so im done workin...but i dunno why its not comin out...i need to get that piece of carpet out

 

if i remember right there's a screw either under the ash tray, or you have to pop the shifter plate off and it's under there by the ash tray. Been awhile since I parted out a Firebird.

 

yep theres 2 in the ashtray.

 

im pretty sure i got the two in the ash tray because theres two holes where screws should be...must have not put them back the previous time...but it seems like its stuck where the e break is.

 

did you take the ebrake handle off? thats the only thing i can think of that would hold it on there. make sure you got all of them, including the two at the back of the console. in the inner compartment.

 

I'm not sure if you caught it, but you have to remove the shifter plate to access the final screw. Then pull up the e-brake, and pull the whole console up...

 

ya i got the 2 in the console, how do i take off the e break handle? and yes the shifter plate is off

 

well i got it off, not completly but enough, i ended up buying some rustoleum rust prevantative paint, i sanded it, vaccuumed it and coated it, sorry no pics yet cam battery is dead

 

theres a phillips head screw on the side facing the drives seat.

 

ya i got that off, but w/e its all set now, ill hopefully get some pics tomorow...
