Move the shift handle to neutral or drive position so you can see inside better

With some flat bladed screw drivers, pry up and remove the plastic shift button.

Look down inside and you will see an O ring that holds on the ****

Lots of parts places sell cheap O ring removal/install pliers to get this part out.

Once the O ring is out, the **** will slide up and off.

I have also done it with a screw driver to pry apart the tabs on the O ring!

Pliers are easier and potentially less damaging

Do it just like "jack" said to do it. However, my 89 has a metal snap ring that holds the shifter **** to the shifter shaft. This ring is a bit pesky to remove. After removal of the ring, the know just slips right off!
