    No problem... totally understand the fear factor. :eek:

    On either side of the shifter about 1" down from the top surface you will feel a seam. Put your fingertips/nails in the seam at point labeled 1 in the attached picture and give a good firm lift up. Once the tabs release, do the same to the black piece around the shifter itself and remove. The rest is history.

    Good luck!
