You do not need to remove the center console to remove the shifter. You remove the shifter ****, then the shifter trim. Underneath that you will find the rubber boots that seal the shifter area. Pull up on those until you expose the top of the shifter tower. You will see 3 bolts. You need a 10mm socket to remove them.
Pull the shifter straight up and then you can safely lower your trans.

yes the first time u pull it out u REALLY gotta pull i thought i missed something the fisrt time i did it also but it was just really tight.....after u feel it POP out itll move really loose u can just leave it there and drop the trans....but remember when u put the trans back on to have someone line the shifter up or it might go off to the side.
