Here's a cut and paste. Look at my pictureposter as well for pic of it removed.
Remove the shifter. This can be a little tricky but let me explain. Just below the leather part of the shift ****, there is an aluminum collar that you need to loosen. Carefully wedge a screwdriver between the bottom of the leather and the top of the collar and press down. It's pretty tight but mine came off right away. I don't think you can "pull" it down with your hands so I came up with the screwdriver method. It goes without saying to do this carefully in case the screwdriver slips. I did it in one shot so hopefully it's no big deal.
Once that's done, pull the shift button OUT and pull UP to remove the shifter. Just to clarify, the shift selector button is the one you push in with your thumb before selecting the gear. Note when reinstalling: you will need to use a pair of needle nose pliers to "grab" the shift button in order to pull it back out so you can reinstall it.
