removing the sfift **** on an 88 iroc w/automatic transmission
Hi guys, i'm new to this site so I hope this is the correct way of doing things. My dillema: How do I remove the shifting **** from the shaft on an automatic transmission? I cannot find any screw etc. Does it simply twist off?

there is a metal retainer holding it in that's shaped like a staple. you have to get a small flathead screwdriver under it and pry it out. It's inserted horizontally from the front side of the ****.

Check properly, it's on the front side of the shifter, if you have a stock shifter..

Yep, same on mine. Just on the front of the **** just above the bottom edge, hard to see and feel, but it's there. Pry it out and the **** pulls off.

It Helps to pull the shifter to First gear, (Engage the E-Brake First) and look at it from the other side, you'll see a little notch.
