Auto- use a flat head to pop out the staple like pin on the front of the shifter
Manual - simply, righty tighty lefty loosey

First remove the button off the top of the **** you should be able to pull it out with your hand. Second there is a tiny snap ring down in the hole get that off. Last but not least pull up on the **** ball and it should come right off if not give it some umph with both hands on each side and hit it up as if your hands were a hammer had to do it a few times.

You will only be able to replace it with another ball type shift ****.If you want to install a newer square type shift **** you will have to replace the entire shifter assembly with one from an 87 and up camaro or 84? and up firebird

I was thinking about modifying the stock shifters to make them able to accept the Hurst and B&M shifter ***** and replacing the steel shafts with polished Stainless was thinking about aluminum but am leaning more towards Stainless. This sound like a good idea to anyone? It involves getting some stuff machined so not an easy project but since you guys are talking about shifters anyway.
oh yeah whatever you want to make your interior pop a little more i say go for it. i'm replacing my whole headlight assy. wiring harness and all. i know i will have to fabricate some things but it'll be worth it to achieve the look i want.
thanks 885speed that removal looks like its gonna work
