there is a cable that connects the shifter linkage to the saftey switch (for center console mounter shifters) this cable stretches and moves out of place. There are 2 screws at the bottom of the ash tray that needs to be removed along with the shifter head. there is a C clip at the back of the shifter facing the radio. After you remove that you will be able to lift up the entire console and get acces to the cable.
