Shifter **** Removal
Have an 2004 and need to remove my console to get to the transfer case linkage freed up. Did some searching and wasn't able to find the exact procedures to make this happen. I was able to find a video that showed placing the AT in neutral, giving the **** a firm twist to the left and right, followed by a good yank upward. This worked perfectly!!!

Hey, so I did not follow your advice and, I think, destroyed the said pin. If I understand correctly, the pin is on the **** so that if replace the ****, I should be all set. Is that correct? Thank you!

Tested and verified. The **** has two plastic parts that go into the openings of the metal shifter. You don't see the these parts when you remove the ****--they are too deep. If you twist the **** while trying to remove it, you'll grind those plastic pieces and the **** won't sit tight any more. A replacement **** with those parts intact will address the issue.
Here is the rub: the best route is to either buy a new **** or take one out yourself so that you can do it carefully. Used parts may look good cosmetically but miss those plastic guides.
