1985Camaro2.8

After searching for a while, I do not believe that there is a thread specifically dedicated to the console removal. Im doing a 700r4 to t5 swap this weekend and I honestly have no idea how to even start the removal of it.

I just removed the console out of o 92 z28 its pretty straight forward my son that doesn't do much work on cars took it apart the hardest part was positioning the e- brake handle high enough to get the console top off. the trick is lift the top part of the console up and on the e-brake handle there is a small lever on it push it down and pull handle all the way back then you can take top off carefully hope this helps

Where are the bolts located at? Im assuming some in the console hatch area but wheres the rest?

You will have to pull back the bottom liner in the glove box. The rest should be obvious once you remove the shifter plate etc.
The shifter **** will have a C-clip inside after you remove the button.
Keep track where all of the outer screws go some are different lengths.

most are the torx on the top of the shift plate around the radio bezel and 2 10mm bolts in center glove box then I think there are 6 10mm holding the bottom down and 2 Phillips head screws at the front part way under dash

and I also forgot you have too remove radio and climate control panel
