[QUOTE=CP911;22845905]I tried removing the gate pattern graphic in hopes I'd find a way to release the internal clip that I believe is holding this thing in like Excalibur's sword!
...since I already ruined the thing, I figured I would just cut the boot with a utility knife so I can drive it without having to clip the boot back in temporarily.
Take a look at this repair info from the TIS manual. It may be of use in getting the shifter out. Good Luck.
