Automatic Shifter Plate?

Hey guys
I've searched for about a half hour now and can't find anything on this so...
How the hell do you remove the shifter plate on an automatic? ('95 v6) I tried everything I could get to, but it doesn't look like I can get it out without removing the shift lever, but then again, it doesn't look like I can remove the shift lever without removing the center console (with shifter plate)!!
WTF???
Thanks.

what do you mean by shifter plate???

To remove the center console...

1) turn key but dont start car, put the shifter into 1
2) pull out the staple-liek pin fron the back of the shifter
3) pull upwards and shift knob comes off, put it in N
4) pull e-brake up as high as possible
5) on mine I had: 2 bolts up front below the radio and HVAC area (one on each side), then pop the center cover and 2 bolts under the change rack, another coupel in the bottom of the console

After that the whoel thing just lifts out... but... you may be asking something completely different lol

No, that sounds about right, but I didn't see a staple like thing, lemme go look...
Thanks!

Hey, found that little staple, pulled it off and everything slid out really easy!
Thanks alot!!!

no problem, glad to be of assistance :bigthumb:
