To get the shifter knob off pull it in to 1st and look on the back side for a slot with a piece of metal in it. A small flat screwdriver behind it will pull it out it is the back side of a U shaped clip that holds the shift knob on. it will then come up and off the rod and you can take see the clips that hold the shifter cover on. there may be a wire to the shift performance button it stays attached to the knob and has a connector that you can see after the cover is up. It's not hard and there is a lot of room in there for lost things
